The reduction of the number of visual elements used and their incorporation into a grid system creates a sense of compact planning, intelligibility and clarity, and suggests orderliness of design. This orderliness lends added credibility to the information and induces confidence.
Information will not only be read more quickly and easily but will also be better understood and retained in the memory. This is a scientifically proved fact and the designer should bear it constantly in mind.

Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money.
They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times.
Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.

"She is the only one who loved him as much as my wife and my kids..." "All of you will go off and make money," he would tell his other aides.

- “Never let yourself be saddened by a separation” is like saying don’t feel human emotions. Guru slop.mort_
- I think all of them in a way go against emotions, but are the emotions what makes us human? Dogs have emotions too, and I love dogs, but they're not humansrzu-rzu

writer Virginia Woolf
"There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself."
