More quotes by Syd Mead

My life is creating things that have never been thought of before.

I like to rehearse for an optimistic future, because why not rehearse for the best performance possible?

I am hired to design the optimal, euphoric, ecclesian solution.

I still have an optimistic view because I think our future is what we're going to arrive at all together - whatever we all do collectively, meaning the whole planet. I like to rehearse for an optimistic future, because why not rehearse for the best performance possible? Reality might produce setbacks here and there, but if you don't plan for the optimum outcome, you're almost guaranteeing failure.
