More quotes by Peter Behrens
Type is one of the most eloquent means of expression in every epoch of style. Next to architecture, it gives the most characteristic portrait of a period and the most severe testimony of a nation's intellectual status.
Peter Behrens
Quoting E. B. White is the easiest way I know of to fool people into thinking that I am perceptive, witty, and wise.
Peter Behrens
Design is not about decorating functional forms - it is about creating forms that accord with the character of the object and that show new technologies to advantage.
Peter Behrens
