A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at bottom no design no purpose no evil no good nothing but blind pitiless indifference.

I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.

I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums concert halls and civic buildings.

I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.

I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect and you have to be on guard.

I just don't get death at all. Yes it's there. But I don't get it.

Lots of people there seemed to be in denial in absolute denial of death - everybody's pretending that death doesn't happen in L.A. if you do enough exercise and take enough wheatgrass and have your pill every day you might not die.

There are some people who walk into a room and they oxygenate it by their very being there's fresh air. Then there are those who come in with the smell of death and they suck the life out.

It comes with faith for with complete faith there is no fear of what faces you in life or death.

People need jobs people need happy and successful lives there should be marriage between one man and one woman there should the value of person from conception until natural death.

There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one and when I hear of one that is dying it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.

I stay way from that area and there's only so many songs you can write about love sex and death.

There's stuff I don't like to rehearse really emotional things I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.

I will admit like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.

There are people who never experience that who remain closed until death from fear of change.
