"A life of hurry can become superficial, when we rush we skim the surface and fail to make real connections with the world, or other people."
In this book Honoré first explored how the Slow philosophy might be applied in every field of human endeavour and coined the phrase "slow movement".
"It is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail's pace. It's about seeking to do everything at the right speed. Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting."This philosophy backs the belief of the need for hand made in design. It links with this quote -
“For many designers, hand made was a reaction - a response - to the computer, and many believed creating boutique projects using older, slower, or hand-manipulated was a way to positively direct design back to its roots.” Chen, Fingerprint: The Art of Using Handmade Elements in Graphic Design (2006)
“When things happen too fast, nobody can be certain about anything, about anything at all, not even about himself” Slowness, MILAN KUNDERA novella (1996)
