“Speaking, writing, and discoursing are not mere acts of communication; they are above all acts of compulsion. Please follow me. Trust me, for deep feeling and understanding require total committment.”

“Design is really an act of communication, which means having a deep understanding of the person with whom the designer is communicating.”

“Every act of communication is an act of translation.”
