Simplicity Quotes
-
I actually believe in simplicity as a way of life. My wife and I are considering moving into a yurt!
Joseph Monninger

Ordinary psyches often react to bad news with a momentary thrill, seeing the world, for once, in jagged clarity, as if lightning has just struck. But then darkness and dysfunction rush in. A mind such as Beethoven's remains illumined, or sees in the darkness shapes it never saw before, which inspire rather than terrify. This altered shape (raptus, he would say) makes art of the shapes, while holding in counterpoise such dualities as intellect and intuition, the conscious and the unconscious, mental health and mental disorder, the conventional and the unconventional, complexity and simplicity.
Edmund Morris
-
Man is an over-complicated organism. If he is doomed to extinction he will die out for want of simplicity.
Ezra Pound
-
Among those who study painting, some strive for an elaborate effect and others prefer the simple. Neither complexity in itself nor simplicity is enough.
Chai Lu
-
Self-consciousness of the manner is the expensive substitute for simplicity.
George Eliot

I despise simplicity. It is the negation of all that is beautiful.
Norman Hartnell
-
Any one may mouth out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.
William Hazlitt
-
Simplicity is the base of everything. At the end of the day if you feel good about yourself, you don't need anything. You don't have to depend on the power of a dress to dress you up. You wear dress the dress, it's not the opposite. It's not only a designer, it's not only just fashion, it's a philosophy. It's a lifestyle.
Alessandra Mastronardi
-
In complexity, it is only simplicity that can be interesting.
Steven Weinberg
-
The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.
Richard Feynman
-
I can't write from the subconscious actually, because a lot of the time when I co-write with other people, I'm writing for them as opposed to for myself. When it comes to lyrics, I tend to want to give them their voice, since it's most likely going to be on their record, or somebody else's record. And I find for more commerial-style music, people want simplicity, less vagueness, and less space to fill between the lines, so to speak. So I can't be quite as ethereal and mystical.
Gary Louris
-
In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.
Albert Camus
