“I used to believe that design was information architecture, and also that this architecture was built in the brain of an information recipient. Recently I've come to think that, although the materials of that architecture's construction are indeed the information brought from the outside by the sensory organs, at the same time some very important building blocks are also the recollected experiences, the memories, awakened by these external stimuli. People imagine the world and interpret it when outside stimuli awaken the mountain of their internally stored memories.”

“In every generation until mine, most of humanity lived with the night sky. As people began moving into cities and using more illumination, the sky gradually disappeared. There must be a corresponding loss of wonder without the stars to remind us where we stand in creation.”
― Lawrence Wright, God Save Texas: A Journey into the Soul of the Lone Star State

“Sense-driven describes a situation in which progress pivots on our sensory perceptions. Let's pit this concept against that of the technology-driven world. Reviewing the world based on our senses would be sound and meaningful for technology as well.”
