Abhijit Naskar
“Most expensive clothes I own cost 20 dollars, most expensive devices I own cost 200 dollars. Born to a factory worker, I never knew luxury, then I made me a name, but saw the world's condition, I grew an absolute repulsion to lifestyle luxurious.”
Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

Elaine St. James
“...there are often many things we feel we should do that, in fact, we don't really have to do. Getting to the point where we can tell the difference is a major milestone in the simplification process.”
Elaine St. James, Living the Simple Life: A Guide to Scaling Down and Enjoying More
