On Seeing

"Before we can make things that are pleasant to see, we must find pleasure in seeing the things that are offered to our sight. We take note of the flamboyant, extraordinary sights, but we must also seek out the innumerable irrelevant shapes and lines on which our glance can alight and invest them with meaning, as patterns or forms we can enjoy. We must learn to see...and to enjoy." - Eva Zeisel, On Design
