401 Design Meditations, Wisdom, Insights, and Intriguing Thoughts from 150 Leading Designers by Catharine Fishel is very interesting book. I bought it last week and I found amazing quotes some of them quite funny. I chose my favorite quotes about design for you.

“Persuading outsiders to buy and persuading insiders to believe.”
Wally Olins on branding

“Graphic design i a lie… we’re lying to ourselfs. The reason young people go into graphic design have little or nothing to do with solving business problems and everything to do with making cool things.”
John Bielenberg – Principal, C2 LLC

“A camel is a horse designed by committee.”
Sir Alec Issigonis – Automobile designer

“Never show fools unfinished work.”
Emek – Artist and designer

“A well-defined problem is half solved.”
Michael Osborne – Principal, Michael Osborne Design

“However beautiful strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”
Winston Churchill – Prime Minister of England during World War II.

“Designers will no longer be paid for graphic – only for ideas.”
Ken Kato – Principal, Cato Purnell Partners

“Listen to your client, take into consideration all of their input, weigh the option, study the details, know the target audience, and then, if necessary, ignore all of it and design what you think will work best.”
Von R. Glitschka – Principal, Glitschka Studios

“Designers tend to whisper, ad agencies tend to shout.”
David Stuart – The Partners

I am actually thinking about print it and stick it around the office :) I am sure that my colleagues will appreciated it… especially when clients will visit u :)
