Never fall in love with an idea. They’re whores: if the one you’re with isn’t doing the job, there’s always, always, always another. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
I hope you find someone you can’t live without. I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it’s like to have to try and live without them. Kiera Cass, The Selection
Commercial Art tries to make you buy things. Graphic Design gives you ideas. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
I’ve never seen her look so vulnerable. So capable of being finite. Alexandra Christo, To Kill a Kingdom
A book cover is a distillation. It is a haiku of the story. Chip Kidd
Words can lie. See beyond them.
Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen
Kiddies, Graphic Design, if you wield it effectively, is Power. Power to transmit ideas that change everything. Power that can destroy an entire race or save a nation from despair. In this century, Germany chose to do the former with the swastika, and America opted for the latter with Mickey Mouse and Superman. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
If you don’t want me to be in love with you, you’re going to have to stop looking so lovely. Kiera Cass, The Selection
Life is a life-long assignment that must be constantly analyzed, clarified, figured out, and responded to appropriately. Chip Kidd, The Learners
Strange, my enemies know me best, and my family doesn’t know me at all. Victoria Aveyard, Glass Sword
Just who are the cheese monkeys? And what do they want? Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
We don’t always like what’s good for us, especially at first. Erin Beaty, The Traitor’s Kiss
Graphic Design for its own sake will never happen, because the concept cancels itself out — a poster about nothing other than itself is not Graphic Design, it’s … makin’ ART. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway. Kiera Cass, The One
After age twenty-five, you’re not a victim anymore — you’re a volunteer. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
If you aren’t sure, then you definitely aren’t in love. Katharine McGee, The Thousandth Floor
Nothing worth knowing can ever be taught in a classroom. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
That is a true gift, to help others see the world in a different way. Rebecca Ross, The Queen’s Rising
Design is, literally, purposeful planning. Graphic Design, then, is the form those plans will take. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop. Holly Black, The Cruel Prince
But at the end of the day, you can’t major in Making Stuff, so it was Art by default. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
There’s nothing wrong with your daughter, Mrs. McIntosh. I said we’re not sleeping together. I didn’t say I didn’t want to. Anna Banks, Of Poseidon
Never let your mouth write a check that your ass can’t cash. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
Sometimes it’s nice to have a little bit of imperfection, isn’t it? Kate Jarvik Birch, Perfected
Did they want what I wanted? Did they want to understand, to unlock it? To decode it? To glean, to touch, to learn, to get something, to proceed, to get somewhere, to graduate, to work, to thrive; to someday, sometime, finally earn the luxury, the permission to ‌ stop, to stop all of this, to relax, and forget? Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.
Kiera Cass, The One
(...) I’m not much of anything, (...) besides bored and boring, punctuated by fits of scant self-amusement. And you are ...? Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
Nothing mattered except this moment. She felt invincible, untouchable, like she would be this way forever: young and dancing and electric and alive. Katharine McGee, The Thousandth Floor
Penguin Classic, with the orange bands at the top and bottom; and the Gill Sans thirty-six point title, all caps, centered and medium weight, in black on the white band in the middle. One of the designer Tschichold’s prouder moments, when he finally woke the hell up and joined the twentieth century. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
Title does not protect you from everything.
Amy Ewing, The Jewel
It’s not Art. And Art is not Design.
Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
She imagined loving him would feel like falling in love with darkness, frightening and consuming yet utterly beautiful when the stars came out. Stephanie Garber, Caraval
On the first day of class, the Visual Arts building reclined before me like an old brick whore, egging me to show her one, last, good time. I doubted I was up to the task, but regardless, I entered from the rear, just to give myself the slightest mental edge. Chip Kidd, The Cheese Monkeys
Do you think, that I could still call you ‘my dear’? Kiera Cass, The Selection
