Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. Steve Jobs

The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it.

In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else’s sake – to abandon our own desires and put our child’s interests first.

Camille Paglia

Let’s be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I’m staggered by what a boot costs today. Vera Wang
While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can’t figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn’t prove there’s a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature. Tony Campolo
I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design. Alexander McQueen
Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way. Alexander McQueen
I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I’ve always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it’s late. Alexander McQueen

A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life. Charlie Byrd

It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Can you design a Rorschach test that’s going to make everyone feel something every time – and that looks like a Rorschach test? It’s easy to show a picture of a kitten or a car accident. The question is, how abstract can you get and still get the audience to feel something when they don’t know what’s happening to them? Jason Reitman
All those lessons that I’ve learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court. Venus Williams

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little. Miuccia Prada
I mean, I think about it, but I don’t design my record to get a certain public response. Liz Phair
Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I’m a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team. Marc Jacobs

When I come to a design decision, people know that is that. Carlos Ghosn
For me, unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure, or design, or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation. Kim Campbell
Pete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960’s. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club. Jack Nicklaus
I’ve wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I’ve played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I’ve always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it. Jack Nicklaus
A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I’d certainly answer their questions, but I’m not involved in the site visits or anything else. Jack Nicklaus
A jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell, a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes – as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was. Jeffrey Kluger

When you say ‘design,’ everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it’s an emotive word. Everybody thinks it’s how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything. James Dyson

Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products. James Dyson

I’d like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right. Brad Pitt
I’m drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale. Brad Pitt

When I announced the development of Perl 6, I said it was going to be a community design. I designed Perl, myself. It’s limited by my own brain power. So I wanted Perl 6 to be a community design. Larry Wall
I’ve always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn’t a singer I’d probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I’m quite visually greedy. I can’t have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting… maybe I’m just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career. Florence Welch
I think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind. Make sure it’s functional and works with what you’re trying to accomplish. Design can come later. Bobby Flay
Design is so critical it should be on the agenda of every meeting in every single department. Tom Peters

Complexity is one of the great problems in environmental design. Christopher Alexander
Once you understand this way, you will be able to make your room alive you will be able to design a house together with your family a garden for your children places where you can work beautiful terraces where you can sit and dream. Christopher Alexander

Luckily I don’t have to buy shoes anymore, because I design them! I’m off tour, so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay, I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up – I had to have them. Fergie
When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event. Nicole Richie
I am extremely involved in the design process of both my brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. Nicole Richie
What I’ve learned from different designers is that it’s key to be true to who you are and your vision. That’s always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process, I don’t want to create something I wouldn’t be proud to wear. Kellan Lutz
I learn my lines while on the golf course. I try to do two or three things at once. I have ideas for books all the time, I have ideas for paintings all the time, and I write them all down. I take my sketchpad and my iPad, which I design on, and I do sit down and do specific tasks at specific times. Jane Seymour
The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there’s a single numeric average. But if it’s a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that’s crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share. Jaron Lanier
The basic problem is that web 2.0 tools are not supportive of democracy by design. They are tools designed to gather spy-agency-like data in a seductive way, first and foremost, but as a side effect they tend to provide software support for mob-like phenomena. Jaron Lanier
In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route. Charles Eames
I’m opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don’t waver.Douglas Wilson
There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design. Rudy Giuliani

Everyone wants an iPhone, but it would be impossible to design an iPhone in China because it’s not a product it’s an understanding of human nature. Ai Weiwei

French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture like Roman design, it looks to the community. Stephen Gardiner

The gays like ‘Project Runway’ because it’s a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It’s a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general.

I just think it’s a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that’s fun. Christian Siriano
