“Truth that is naked is the most beautiful, and the simpler its expression the deeper is the impression it makes”

— Arthur Schopenhauer

Essays, On Authorship and Style
Context: Truth that is naked is the most beautiful, and the simpler its expression the deeper is the impression it makes; this is partly because it gets unobstructed hold of the hearer’s mind without his being distracted by secondary thoughts, and partly because he feels that here he is not being corrupted or deceived by the arts of rhetoric, but that the whole effect is got from the thing itself.
