“It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may pertain to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
— Harry Frankfurt (On Bullshit, pp. 55-56)

“This is how we go on: One day at a time, one meal at a time, one pain at a time, one breath at a time… We say yes, I agree that the clouds often look like other things–fish and unicorns and men on horseback– but they are really only clouds. Even when lightning flashes inside them we say they are only clouds and turn our attention to the next meal, the next pain, the next breath, the next page. This is how we go on.”

interview with ian anderson founder of the designers republic
“Satisfying projects tend to be those that ask questions and challenge the grey matter, projects which allow us exercise our creative muscle for clients and collaborators who trust us to deliver something beyond their expectations, and who are happy to pay us to do exactly that.
Design is an adventure, a new relationship defined by as yet undefined possibilities and uncharted opportunities. New clients offer the chance to explore and evolve new relationships, create new histories. New work for existing clients allows us to delve deeper and develop richer experiences.”
