I found this quote on a webpage by a designer who was using Marty's words as her own inspiration. I love it. It really captures how design has broken the mold of tradition and being "square". If someone were to call you eccentric, it would most likely be taken as an insult. If a picture or sculpture is called eccentric, it is genious. I love that art sprung from individuals willing to expand their minds to connect with the world, finding what makes them excited about life and what they wish to share with others. I think that the most amazing designers are those who use art as an expression to free themselves, as opposed to pleasing the rest of us. It's amazing that both result from such creations none-the-less. It can also be applied to more than just design. I see it as encouragement to break some rules in society in order to find a deeper happiness than what most have achieved.
