David Macaulay Quotations

For some time now, I have been encouraging people to ask themselves why things look the way they do.

If you are lucky enough to be successful, you get drawn further in and you stop paying attention to the stuff that matters.

I'm a big fan of the digestive system.

I went back to the notion of story, which is always a good thing to have if you're trying to get people to pay attention to a book and pick up information along the way.

Making books is hard work. Some books are, of course, more demanding than others.

Occasionally, I just need to escape from my work or be reminded of the comparative bliss of my own life, so I pick up a novel.

I've never thought about the ages of my readers.
