- Freeman Dyson on Design
- A jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell, a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes - as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was.
- Jeffrey Kluger on Design
- A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
- Steve Jobs on Design
- A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions, but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.

- Actually, I didn't make the claim that Ruby follows the principle of least surprise. Someone felt the design of Ruby follows that philosophy, so they started saying that. I didn't bring that up, actually.
- Yukihiro Matsumoto on Design
- After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared.
- Arthur Erickson on Design
- After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either.

- All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.

- Umberto Guidoni on Design
- And then, build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century, with a restoration of a spectacular skyline, which Manhattan, of course, needs. So, that is really the design as a whole.
- Daniel Libeskind on Design
- Art has definitely influenced how I think of design, both as individual items and as a body of work.
- Cynthia Rowley on Design
- Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
- David Hockney on Design
