Quotes

"Copying the classics is not only a good way to help gain an appreciation for the contributions of the past, it is also an excellent means of exercising the development of technique, without (...) trying to solve a new design problem at the same time."

Bill Buxton · Computer scientist and designer

"I want it to be as beautiful as possible, even if it’s inside the box. A great carpenter isn’t going to use lousy wood for the back of a cabinet, even though nobody’s going to see it."

Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

"When people look to improve something in their lives, they’re usually thinking about three specific dimensions: functional, social, and emotional."

David Schonthal - Clinical Professor of Innovation & Entrepreneurship

"Creativity and productivity are starting to merge more. I think this is a general trend: a lot of tools are becoming easier to use, and more people have access to them."

Dylan Field CEO & Co-founder of Figma

"Children are our role models. Their curiosity, creativity and imagination inspire everything we do."

LEGO team's job description

Sundar Pichai · Chief Executive Officer of Alphabet
