Always strive to give value before you ask for value.”

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I.

French author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette offers some life advice:

“You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.”

Source: Unconfirmed, but I believe this was originally from her novel “Cheri

​II.

Graphic designer Saul Bass on the importance of beauty:

“I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don't give a damn whether the client understands that that's worth anything, or that the client thinks it's worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It's worth it to me. It's the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.”

1 QUESTION FOR YOU
