Don't Try To Be Original; Just Try

So That Is The Design Process Or The Creative Process. Start With A Problem, Forget The Problem, The Problem Reveals Itself Or The Solution Reveals Itself And Then You Reevaulate It. This Is What You Are Doing All The Time.

I Never Did Calligraphy... But Handwriting Is An Entirely Different Kind Of Thing. It's Part Of The Syndrome Of Modernism... It's Part Of That Asceticism.

You Will Learn Most Things By Looking, But Reading Gives Understanding. Reading Will Make You Free.

Any System That Sees Aesthetics As Irrelevant, That Separates The Artist From His Product, That Fragments The Work Of The Individual, Or Creates By Committee, Or Makes Mincemeat Of The Creative Process Will, In The Long Run, Diminish Not Only The Product But The Maker As Well.
