Here is a collection of quotes regarding Design that I've collected over the years through some books I've read:
Oliviero Toscani
Clichés are our cultural history
If you are sure. you know you're doing something old
Tibor Kalman
Every rule about what is appropriate narrows what's possible
The cultural lights of this century are all maniacs
I'm not against beauty. It just sounds boring to me.
Our vernacular is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Our common experience becomes the common experience of network TV. Our idea of cultural diversity is cable.
Graphic design isn't a profession, it's a medium
Consumption is a treatable disease
Consumer culture is an oxymoron
Wealth is poverty
Religion works better for corporation than for people
Rules are good. Break them.
Good designer (and writers and artists) make trouble.
Graphic design is a means, not an end. A language, not content.
Paul Rand
Between designer and artist is no difference. They both work with form and content.
The fundamental skill of a designer is talent. Talent is a rare commodity. It's all about intuition. And you can't teach intuition.
David Carson
If everyone loves your work you're playing it much too safe.
Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe
It is better to be good than to be original
Ivan Chermayeff
When in doubt, make it red. If you're still in doubt, make it BIG.
El Lissitzsky
Typographic arrangement should achieve for the reader what voice tone conveys for the listener
Jean Cocteau
The greatest literary masterpiece is no more than an alphabet in disorder
Marc Steuer
I submit to you, creativity's not talking; it's all about the ability to listen
Raymond Loewy
The most difficult things to design are the simplest.
Unknown
Art is not a mirror. Art is a hammer
