“Designers provide ways into—and out of—the flood of words by breaking up text into pieces and offering shortcuts and alternate routes through masses of information. (...) Although many books define the purpose of typography as enhancing the readability of the written word, one of design’s most humane functions is, in actuality, to help readers avoid reading.”

― Ted Hughes, Letters of Ted Hughes

“When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.”
