More From Thor Heyerdahl

Simplicity and purity are the two wings by which a man is lifted above all earthly things. simplicity is in the intention - purity in the affection. simplicity tends to god, - purity apprehends and tastes him.
Men Wings Two
The simplicity of the universe is very different from the simplicity of a machine. the simplicity of nature is not that which may be easily read but is inexhaustible. the last analysis can no wise be made.
Wise Nature Simplicity
When we are truly in this interior simplicity our whole appearance is franker, more natural. this true simplicity. . . makes us conscious of a certain openness, gentleness, innocence, gaiety, and serenity. o, how amiable this simplicity is! who will give it to me? i leave all for this. it is the pearl of the gospel.
Giving Simplicity Serenity
You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty i am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and i frankly admit that i am strongly attracted by the simplicity and beauty of mathematical schemes which nature presents us. you must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationship, which nature suddenly spreads out before us.
Nature Truth Science
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. the absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. that's not simple.
Philosophical Simple Simplicity
Prison life taught him how little one can get along with, and what extraordinary spiritual freedom and peace such simplification can bring. i remember again, ironically, that today more of us in the world have the luxury of choice between simplicity and complication of life. and for the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication. war, prison, survival periods, enforce a form of simplicity on us. the monk and the nun choose it of their own free will. but if one accidentally finds it, as i have for a few days, one finds also the serenity it brings.

To me, reason is as spiritual as anything else, the beauty of reason seems to me indelible and ineffable and numinous... the spirit is after all the same word we use to describe... essence
Spiritual Essence Use
We are bemused and crazed creatures, strangers to our true selves, to one another, and to the spiritual and material world - mad, even, from an ideal standpoint we can glimpse but not adopt.
