Designers take care of everything around us. Everything that is around us, this table, this chair, this lamp, this pen has been designed. All of these things, everything has been designed by somebody.
I don’t think that anyone has really told (people) what design is. It doesn’t occur to most people that everything is designed--that every building and everything they touch in the world is designed. Even foods are designed now. So in the process of helping people understand this, making them more aware of the fact that the world around us is something that somebody has control of, perhaps they can feel some sense of control, too. I think that’s a nice ambition.

When you are being what you really are you absolutely flourish in the midst of absolutely everything.
Politics sometimes is not only unnecessary but also unnecessary complicated.
A drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.
I was deemed difficult to deal with and I blame my behavioural problems on the measles jab. I've got no proof though; it's just hearsay, but I do believe a lot of these vaccinations were absolutely unnecessary.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Don't store unnecessary data, keep an eye on what's happening, and don't take unnecessary risks.
A man should remove not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for then superfluous activity will not follow.
