Chip Kidd Quote

I find that the older I get, the clearer I want things to be. I think this is a natural symptom of maturation — as we age, mysteries pile up, and they’re usually not the fun ones: Just how long do I have? Why do some people get what they deserve, and others don’t? Why are certain problems so easy to solve, while others are totally impossible? Will they ever, ever bring working jetpacks to the marketplace?
