Erik Spiekermann Quotes
These days, information is a commodity being sold. And designers-including the newly defined subset of information designers and information architects-have a responsible role to play.

Marriage requires the giving and keeping of confidences, the sharing of thoughts and feelings, respect and understanding always, marriage requires humility - the humility to repent, the humility to forgive.
