“I like a thing simple but it must be simple through complication. Everything must come into your scheme, otherwise you cannot achieve real simplicity.”

“Almost all the serious achievements are simple in principle… the ideas must be sufficiently simple.”

“I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.”
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated”

“I mean to lead a simple life, to choose a simple shell I can carry easily — like a hermit crab. But I do not. I find that my frame of life does not foster simplicity. My husband and five children must make their way in the world. The life I have chosen as a wife and mother entrains a whole caravan of complications.”

“The truth is too simple: one must always get there by a complicated route.”

“Creating simplicity often makes the heart leap; order has been restored, the crooked made straight. But order is understanding that things cannot be made simple, that complexity reigns and must be accepted.”

“There's an applied style of being minimal and simple, and then there's real simplicity. This looks simple, because it really is.”

“Simplicity is not a simple thing.”

“Everything must be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.”

“I want to be with you. It's as simple, and as complicated as that.”
