I usually post on subjects that I think will interest my student readers such as how to be a better designer or (for my clients) things I believe will help them run your business more efficiently and successfully. But today I am going to be starting a new series of quotes and recommended reading. These are things that I believe most people focused on being successful think about and would enjoy hearing more about. Let me know what you think…

"When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego, and when we escape like squirrels in the cage of our personality and get in the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves. Cool, unlying life rush in, and passion will make our bodies taut with power. We shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper." – D.H.Lawrence, "Escape"
