Famous quotes containing the words design and/or faults:

    The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
    Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)

    If we had no faults of our own, we should not take half so much satisfaction in observing those of other people.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
