No Design but some cool quotes

So I haven't managed a design a day yet. At least I can claim some victory in the fact that I know myself well enough to know that new year's resolutions are a complete waste of my time. However, I have been busy doing some work but will post it later (once my clients see it first..). For now, I thought I'd share some cool quotes that I found at: http://inspire.boranikolic.com/ :


"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."
— Douglas Adams


"What works good is better than what looks good. Because what works good lasts."
— Ray Eames

"Don’t make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful."

— Shaker design philosophy

"Becoming a top expert takes about 10,000 hours of hard work."

— Malcom Gladwell

"A designer should only use these 5 typefaces: Bodoni, Helvetica, Times Roman, Century, Futura."
— Massimo Vignelli

"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty.
I only think about how to solve the problem. 
    But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, 
I know it is wrong.”
— Buckminster Fuller

These thought provoking qu0tes are just a small taste of Bora Nikolic's site.  I'm off to find him on Twitter.
