Quote by Robert Moog

The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.

Summary

This quote highlights the mindset of a designer who prioritizes the needs and preferences of others over their own. Instead of creating for personal satisfaction, the designer sees themselves as a toolmaker, focused on crafting designs that cater to the wants and requirements of users. Their primary motivation lies in designing things that are usable and valuable for others, rather than solely satisfying their own creative desires. This perspective emphasizes the importance of empathizing with the target audience and prioritizing their needs throughout the design process.

One day when I went out to my wood-pile, or rather my pile of stumps, I observed two large ants, the one red, the other much larger, nearly half an inch long, and black, fiercely contending with one another. Having once got hold they never let go, but struggled and wrestled and rolled on the chips incessantly. Looking farther, I was surprised to find that the chips were covered with such combatants, that it was not a duellum, but a bellum, a war between two races of ants, the red always pitted against the black, and frequently two red ones to one black. The legions of these Myrmidons covered all the hills and vales in my wood-yard, and the ground was already strewn with the dead and dying, both red and black. It was the only battle which I have ever witnessed, the only battle-field I ever trod while the battle was raging; internecine war; the red republicans on the one hand, and the black imperialists on the other. On every side they were engaged in deadly combat, yet without any noise that I could hear, and human soldiers never fought so resolutely.

The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.
