quotes by John Maeda

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful."
— John Maeda (The Laws of Simplicity)

"Amidst all the attention given to the sciences as to how they can lead to the cure of all diseases and daily problems of mankind, I believe that the biggest breakthrough will be the realization that the arts, which are considered "useless," will be recognized as the whole reason why we ever try to live longer or live more prosperously. The arts are the science of enjoying life."
— John Maeda
