When you work with web design companies in San Francisco, you end up with a bunch of twenty-somethings who have their own cultural peculiarities, including obscurity for its own sake. You give those guys a website for a banking institution and they screw it up, because they are designing for themselves.

7 QUOTES WITH «PECULIARITIES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word peculiarities.
1
Scott Anderson
The peculiarities of my childhood, of constantly moving through so many different cultures, of always being the outsider, may have made me extraordinarily self-sufficient, but it had also bred a certain detachment, a sense that the world was a place to explore rather than truly inhabit. This manifested as a kind of shyness, even timidity.
2
Isaac D'Israeli
The Self-Educated are marked by stubborn peculiarities.
3
Christopher Heyerdahl
Certainly, anyone whom I've witnessed, who has gone through something horrible and life-changing, has a sense of ironic humor, or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.
4
Brenda Laurel

5
Anton Seidl
It is simple nonsense to speak of the fixed tempo of any particular vocal phrase. Each voice has its peculiarities.
6
Will Self
Television is the same as the telephone, and the same as the World Wide Web for that matter. People who become obsessed by the peculiarities of these communications media have simply failed to adjust to the shock of the old. People who bleat on about the 'artistic' potential of television qua television are equally deluded.
7
Sargent Shriver
My parents were second cousins. That is enough to explain all of my peculiarities.
