It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.

Calvin & Hobbes on Creativity

Be Bold or Italic, Never Regular. (via threedot, nevver)

YOU WILL TELL THEM YES

The best days are yet to come.

THIS. “Become the change you want to see.”

Mural, as part of an ongoing project about “change”. Location: OpenSpace Gallery, Tongeren. “Become the change you want to see” is a quote from Gandhi. Change must start within yourself and because the quote is spread out across parts of three walls, the reader must undergo a first change to be able to read the quote in its entirety. This is only possible by stepping 10 meters away, moving to the right and staying low to the ground (in a humble position).

Make things happen. Stop procrasturbating.

"I will solve your problem for you, and you will pay me. And you don’t have to use the solution - if you want options, go talk to other people. But I’ll solve your problem for you the best way I know how, and you use it or not, that’s up to you - you’re the client - but you pay me."

Paul Rand

"I never think of myself as an icon. What’s in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing."

Audrey Hepburn

"

Intuition plays a very significant part in design, as it does in life. It’s the initial phase of any creative work. It’s the factor that makes it possible to be alive. Animals live by instinct, and we do, too. The difference is that they don’t reason. We do, and that can be a problem. You get an idea, which comes intuitively. You then look at it and decide whether it’s right or wrong. The important thing is not the intuition but the decision—whether it’s right or wrong—whether or not to pursue it. Most of the time people simply latch on to trends or to freakish solutions they believe are creative but which have nothing to do with real problems—with right or wrong.

A good solution, in addition to being right, should have the potential for longevity. Yet I don’t think one can design for permanence. One designs for function, for usefulness, rightness, beauty. Permanence is up to God.

Quotes by POGO

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition, it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends."

Mark Twain

Nothing great has been and nothing great can be accomplished without passion. -GWH Hegel
