More quotes by Paula Scher
We become different people and we adapt to our environments, but that doesn't have anything to do with being creative.
Paula Scher

Design really can be anything.
Paula Scher
I don't want being a woman to be a factor, or being short to bea factor, or being Jewish to be a factor, or anything that makes you outside some design normthat I don't understand anyway. That makes me nervous.
Paula Scher

Paula Scher
Words have meaning, type has spirit.
Paula Scher
If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
