Joshua Becker
“Minimalist clothing can convey a classic and memorable sense of personal identity.
Alice argues that wearing a similar outfit every day is a way of asserting your status as a protagonist in life. "This is the reason why characters in picture books never change their clothes...”
― Joshua Becker, The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life

“It’s one thing to have all that you need.
It’s another thing to recognize that you have all you need.”
― Toyin Omofoye
