Famous quotes containing the words design and/or development:

    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)

    Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
