Designers are inherently optimistic people who try to make the world a better place

To eliminate the concept of waste means to design things-products, packaging, and systems-from the very beginning on the understanding that waste does not exist.

Designing renders visible our hopes and dreams. It is the first signal of human intentions.

Waste equals food, whether it's food for the earth, or for a closed industrial cycle. We manufacture products that go from cradle to grave. We want to manufacture them from cradle to cradle.

The Stone Age did not end because humans ran out of stones. It ended because it was time for a re-think about how we live.

If anybody here has trouble with the concept of design humility, reflect on this: It took us 5,000 years to put wheels on our luggage.

In the end, the question is not, how do we use nature to serve our interests? It's how can we use humans to serve nature's interest?'

Here's where redesign begins in earnest, where we stop trying to be less bad and we start figuring out how to be good.

Our goal is a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy, and just world, with clean air, water, soil and power – economically, equitably, ecologically and elegantly enjoyed.

The surest way to heal an eco-system is to connect it to more of itself.

If we think about things having multiple lives, cradle to cradle, we could design things that can go back to either nature or back to industry forever.

Like two side to a coin, there are two sides to life: your reason and emotional facets.

...it must be odd to have no ambition, not to want something more.

I've done a bit of live action before but the fight sequences, the wire work and the physical regime were taken to another level [ in Doctor Strange].

Mysticism is, in essence, little more than a certain intensity and depth of feeling in regard to what is believed about the universe.

We could say politically correct that look doesn't matter, but the look obviously matters.

Her desire for fame is like her hair. It keeps getting bigger. [on Diana Ross

It is satisfying for the descendant of a dissident refugee from Elizabeth I to present his credentials to Elizabeth II.

Jack Roush is the only guy that could keep Matt Kenseth from winning races.

The nature of the game is pain.

We should do only those righteous actions which we cannot stop ourselves from doing.
