Any design, whether it's for a ship or an airplane, must be done in anticipation of potential failures.

Everything we do is designed, whether we're producing a magazine, a website, or a bridge. Design is really the creative invention that designs everything.

An over-reliance on past successes is a sure blueprint for future failures.

Successful design is not the achievement of perfection but the minimization and accommodation of imperfection.

Design is nothing if not decision making.

It seems to be a law of design that for every advantage introduced through redesign, there is an accompanying unintended disadvantage.
