Simplicity Quotes

Simplicity is not emptiness, but the essence stripped of all that is unnecessary. In design, it is the line that needs no explanation; in art, it is the message that arrives without superfluous ornamentation. It is the true power that lies in clarity, in the ability to remove layers and reach the pivotal point without distraction.

Ponder these quotes that celebrate the art of living with less, the wisdom of abstraction, and the beauty of pure existence.
