“Simplicity is a pleasant thing in children, or at any age, but it is not necessarily admirable, nor is affectation altogether a thing of evil. To be normal, to be at home in the world, with a prospect of power, usefulness, or success, the person must have that imaginative insight into other minds that underlies tact and savoir-faire, morality and beneficence. This insight involves sophistication, some understanding and sharing of the clandestine impulses of human nature. A simplicity that is merely the lack of this insight indicates a sort of defect.”
Charles Horton Cooley
“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside.”
William Morris
“It was not the outer granduer of the Roman but the inner simplicity of the Christian that lived through the ages.”
Charles Lindbergh
“Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.”
Albert Einstein
“Simplicity not only makes the unit safe and secure, but also very intuitive. User controls are designed to be as easy as riding in an elevator.”
Christopher Batterman
“Names are not always what they seem. The common Welsh name BZJXXLLWCP is pronounced Jackson.”
Mark Twain
“We also wanted the simplicity of not having either-sex days on most areas of Louisiana.”
