Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.

Design, Together, Soul

James Allen

Happiness, Health, Happy

Life, Peace, Create

David Suzuki

Home, Future, Human

Henry Miller

Music, Live, Mind

Franz Kafka

Knowledge, Room, Inner

Rollo May

Freedom, Courage, Battle

Arthur C. Clarke
