"authenticity" doesn't mean much to me. i just want "good", in the sense of well-designed, well-constructed, long-lasting garments. my interest in military clothing stems from that. it's not about macho, playing soldiers, anything militaristic. it's the functionality, the design-solutions, the durability. likewise workwear.

More From William Gibson

When we think of design, we usually imagine things that are chosen because they are designed. vases or comic books or architecture... it turns out, though, that most of what we make or design is actually aimed at a public that is there for something else. the design is important, but the design is not the point. call it "public design"... public design is for individuals who have to fill out our tax form, interact with our website or check into our hotel room despite the way it's designed, not because of it.

Can you stand? (aimee) i’m not helpless. (fang) oh, look! mr. macho is back in all his glory. hello, mr. macho, it’s so not good to see you again. but you know, mr. macho, that you’ve been bedridden to the point that your legs aren’t used to carrying your weight and you’re not really human. so if you want to get up and fall, gods forbid i do anything to stop it. after all, i live for america’s funniest home videos. should i fetch a camcorder now? (aimee)

Senator mcgovern is very sincere when he says that he will try to cut the military budget by 30%. and this is to drive a knife in the heart of israel... jews don't like big military budgets. but it is now an interest of the jews to have a large and powerful military establishment in the united states... american jews who care about the survival of the state of israel have to say, no, we don't want to cut the military budget, it is important to keep that military budget big, so that we can defend israel.

Design is the method of putting form and content together. design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. design can be art. design can be aesthetics. design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
Death Art Simple
Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
What’s next for technology and design? a lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. art humanizes technology and makes it understandable. design is needed to make sense of information overload. it is why art and design will rise in importance during this century as we try to make sense of all the possibilities that digital technology now affords.

Similar Quotes
The southern newspapers, with their advertisements of negro sales and personal descriptions of fugitive slaves, supply details of misery that it would be difficult for imagination to exceed. scorn, derision, insult, menace - the handcuff, the last - the tearing away of children from parents, of husbands from wives - the weary trudging in droves along the common highways, the labor of body, the despair of mind, the sickness of heart - these are the realities which belong to the system, and form the rule, rather that the exception, in the slave's experience.

We think and name in one world, we live and feel in another.

Art is to look at not to criticize.

Jarndyce and jarndyce drones on. this scarecrow of a suit, has, in course of time, become so complicated that no man alive knows what it means. the parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes, without coming to total disagreement as to all the premises.
