"You said, “I miss you son. Come home”. And my sins, they watched me leave. And in my heart I so believed. The love You felt for me was more than the love I’d wished for all this time. When the doors were closed, i heard no I told so’s. I said the words I knew you knew. Oh God, Oh God I needed you."

Mereka Bilang “Less Is More”

Pernahkah anda mendengar istilah Less is More? Sudah pasti pernah dong ya. Istilah Less is more digunakan sebagai gagasan bahwa kesederhanaan dan kemurnian akan menghasilkan sebuah desain yang baik.

Tahu kah anda darimana asal kata Less Is More tersebut?

Robert Browning

Istilah Less Is More muncul pertama kali pada puisi karya sastrawan asal Inggris yang bernama Robert Browning di tahun 1855. Puisi tersebut berjudul “Andrea del Sarto”.

Puisi tersebut merupakan jenis monolog dramatis yang akhirnya membuat Robert Browning menjadi terkenal. Pada puisi tersebut ada berbunyi:

Who strive - you don’t know how the others strive
To paint a little thing like that you smeared
Carelessly passing with your robes afloat,-
Yet do much less, so much less, Someone says,
(I know his name, no matter) - so much less!
Well, less is more, Lucrezia.

Ludwig Mies van der RoheIstilah tersebut kemudian dipopulerkan oleh seorang arsitek yang bernama, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, salah seorang pelopor arsitektur modern dan gaya minimalis.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe mengadaptasi kata Less Is More sebagai moto untuk menggambarkan teknik estetikanya dalam menyusun berbagai komponen penting agar memunculkan kesan yang sangat sederhana dalam sebuah bangunan.

No! More is more! Less is less!” - Anonymous :)

"It’s so hard these days with everyone wanting to be ‘anti-belief’ and everyone thinks its super hip to wear an upside down cross. That lifestyle is SO damn easy, trust me. It’s harder to have faith and live your life with convictions but it’s so worth it in the end."

"My job on my set, I believe, is to first just love people and gain that trust with people where they know that I really do love them and care about their well-being, So that when they are running into problems, they will hopefully, at some point, come to me and ask me,
‘What is your peace all about? What is your comfort all about? Where do you get your love? Where do you get your talents?’ And I can turn to them and say without blinking, ‘Jesus Christ’."
