Summary

This quote by Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry emphasizes the idea that true perfection lies in simplicity. A skilled designer understands that instead of continuously adding more elements or complexity to a design, the ultimate goal is reached when nothing more can be removed without compromising its essence or functionality. It underscores the value of restraint, minimalism, and the ability to distill a design to its most essential and elegant form. Striving for this level of simplicity requires a deep understanding of the purpose, function, and aesthetics of the design, resulting in a harmonious and impactful end result.

Nature is not served by rigid laws, but by rhythmical, reciprocal processes. Nature uses none of the preconditions of the chemist or the physicist for the purposes of evolution. Nature excludes all fire, on principle, for purposes of growth; therefore all contemporary machines are unnatural and constructed according to false premises. Nature avails herself of the biodynamic form of motion through which the biological prerequisite for the emergence of life is provided. Its purpose is to ur-procreate 'higher' conditions of matter out of the originally inferior raw materials, which afford the evolutionally older, or the numerically greater rising generation, the possibility of a constant capacity to evolve, for without any growing and increasing reserves of energy there would be no evolution or development. This results first and foremost in the collapse of the so-called Law of the Conservation of Energy, and in further consequence the Law of Gravity, and all other dogmatic lose any rational or practical basis.
