More From Jaron Lanier

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.
Book Thinking Design
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.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

Dreams require down payments. dreams are free, but the journey isn't. there is a price to pay. first, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. ralph waldo emerson said, 'whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.

We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.

If the various groups in america had been less selfish and had permitted different representatives from the groups to travel into foreign countries, and broaden their own scope, and come back and educate the movements they represented, not only would this have made the groups to which they belonged more enlightened and more worldly in the international sense, but it also would have given the independent african states abroad a better understanding of the groups in the united states, and what they stand for, what they represent.

No errors of opinion can possibly be dangerous in a country where opinion is left free to grapple with them.

I'm very influenced by landscapes, not so much the way places look as the way the names sound. in this country we've got so many cultures, and the place names - the spanish names and the indian names, which are so incredibly musical.

I think we're very uptight in america. you have to remember that we're descended from puritans. whether or not the country is now composed of immigrants, our culture as american really begins with the landing of the pilgrims and a puritanical view of things.

In our country we must trust the people to hear and see both the good and the bad and to choose the good.
