User Quotes

Voices on what it takes to be a real user.

These quotes look at the word 'user' from several angles at once: someone opening an app, someone wielding a weapon with skill, someone weighing a product's real value. It's a small collection with an unusually wide range of tone, useful reading if you enjoy our Interaction page.

Every user has something to say.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'user' mean across these quotes?
It shifts depending on the line, sometimes it's someone opening an app, sometimes someone wielding a weapon, and sometimes someone simply weighing whether a product works for them. That range is part of what makes this small collection interesting.
Is there a quote about who should really control app design?
Yes, one line argues plainly that the actual user, not the service provider, ought to have the final say over how apps are built. It fits well alongside our Role page if you like quotes about who holds authority.
Do any quotes admit to being a bad user at something?
One quote is refreshingly honest about not being especially skilled with a katana or a bo staff, using 'user' in the sense of someone still practicing a weapon skill. It adds a humble, self-aware tone to the page.
Is there anything here about products or sustainability?
Yes, one line raises doubts about whether single-use wearable products actually hold up from a real user's perspective. It's a more practical, consumer-focused take compared to the other quotes on the page.
Why is this page useful beyond just the word 'user'?
Because it captures how differently people define their own relationship to tools, apps, and skills depending on context. For more on that kind of self-definition, our Identity quotes explore the theme further.

Some lines argue the user deserves more say over the tools built for them, echoing themes on our Role page. Others simply admit a skill still needs work, a note that fits well with Identity quotes too.
