IntroIt all began in the spring of 2015 when our class took Materials & Processes with Professor Ed Dorsa. At first, Richie and I thought it was just us that recorded the often hilarious or wise spoken quotes by the head of the industrial design program. But we soon discovered that almost everyone had recorded an Ed quote or two in the margins of their notebooks. For the sake of memories and amusement we decided to collect all the quotes into one book.

Ed, thank you for everything.
