“It was the living who ignored the strange and wonderful, because life was too full of the boring and mundane.”

“Usability, fundamentally, is a matter of bringing a bit of human rights into the world of computer-human interaction. It's a way to let our ideals shine through in our software, no matter how mundane the software is. You may think that you're stuck in a boring, drab IT department making mind-numbing inventory software that only five lonely people will ever use. But you have daily opportunities to show respect for humanity even with the most mundane software.”

“A miracle every day would cease to be miraculous—it would be mundane. Though even a boring sunset is still glorious.”

“People who bore one another should meet seldom; people who interest one another, often.”

It is, rather, something that screams: Ladies, abandon your boring, mundane, unfulfilled lives and step into my exciting world, full of interesting people, new experiences, good times, easy living, and dreams fulfilled.”
