Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.Leonardo da Vinci
My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.Ernest Hemingway
Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.Isaac Newton
It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.George Orwell
My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.Marilyn Monroe
