True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.

Henry Ward Beecher

Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension.

Christian Dior

Almost anything carried to a logical extreme becomes depressing.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!

Henry David Thoreau

Acknowledge the elegance of simplicity.

Giorgio Armani

Coco Chanel

Bill Blass

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

Coco Chanel

Gordon Willis

Giorgio Armani

To be alive is to totally and openly participate in the simplicity and elegance of here and now.

Don Altman

Maharani Gayatri Devi - she was elegance and simplicity personified.

Kirti Kulhari

Riccardo Tisci

Elegance of language must give way before simplicity in preaching sound doctrine.

Girolamo Savonarola

It is important to notice that these badly functioning designs were praised for 'elegance.' But elegance as theoretical scientists apply it is quite different. The elegance of a mathematical formula is that it explains a phenomenon beautifully, with no parts left over. In design, elegance is more readily perceived as a property of product than of process. If we had more elegant theories, we might look to design for more than elegance.

Ralph Caplan

Throughout this book, we've been evangelizing simplicity, but ironically, the practice of simplicity is not simple. It is easy to build a bulky design by adding layer upon layer of navigation and features; it's much more difficult to create simple, graceful designs. Paring designs to essential elements while maintaining elegance and functionality requires courage and discipline.

Jakob Nielsen
