简洁才是美

It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

当你认为一项设计达到完美时,并不意味着没法在往里面添加任何东西,而是指没法从里面除掉什么。

--Antoine de Saint-Exupery,Terre des hommes, 1939

Brevity is the soul of wit.

简练是智慧的灵魂。

--莎士比亚《哈姆莱特》

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

--Leonardo da Vinci

After-dinner speechs should be like ladies' skits - long enoug to cover the subject, and short enough to be interesting.

宴会席上的演讲要像女士们的裙子--长得足够蔽体,短得能引人入胜。

--乔志高《美语录(第二辑)听其言也》

Less is more.

--Mies van der Rohe
