The goal of design is to raise the expectation of what design can be
Paula Scher
Stefan Sagmeister says that nobody innovates past forty-five, but I think he's wrong. I want to keep doing it.

Helvetica is the font of the Vietnam War.
Paula Scher
What a designer does is he makes things possible that you didn't imagine could exist before, and it makes the world a better place. You know, it's a great thing to be doing. A fine artist does that, too, but they make the expression for themselves, not for others' use.
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
If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
