My favourite quote from Enzo...

"I believe that today's work conditions the future, that men pass and their work remains, and each example of their work, created for the present, is a stairway of the future."

another...

"You have to admit I have a pretty good nose. In my eyes Villeneuve was one of my family. I loved him."

Taken from a book called "Formula 1 the autobiography" by Gerald Donaldson. The book is a collection of quotes and photos from all the drivers and F1 people from the begining until 2002. Really amazing

When someone questioned the quality of the (drum)brakes of his cars, he made the comment "my cars are designed to GO, not Stop...."

"The horse pulls the cart.. it does not push it."

speaking of front-engined cars as opposed to rear/mid engined... i guess he changed his mind in the 80s...

"The best Ferrari, is the next one I build"
"A racecar is like a child, when it is best of his class you are proudand sometimes you have to correct it"

If you have till monday, I can try to find a paper I had done for school a year or so back. There should be enough quotes in it with references.

Not sure if I still have it, but will have a look.

Im looking for some good Enzo Ferrari quotes for a paper I am writing. I remember one where he talks of 'Form and Function' but can't remember the full quote. So, if any of you can remember it, or if you have any other good quotes, please post them!

Thanks,
Warren.
