Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.

Men are limited by the knowledge of their minds, the worth of their characters and the principles upon which they are building their lives.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

I would say that an understanding of man's intrinsic needs, and of the necessity to search for a climate in which those needs could be realized, is fundamental to the education of the designer.

I guess economists, it's a bit like scientists; you have definitely fewer women in that field.

Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.

Men can be a great deal of work for very little reward.

Economics is a strange science. Our subject deals with some of the most important as well as mundane issues that impinge on the human condition.

Though men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements, yet these are, in truth, very often owing not so much to design as chance.

If my impressions are correct, our educational planing mill cuts down all the knots of genius, and reduces the best of the men who go through it to much the same standard.
