When the marketers walk through the front door and then two consecutive secured doors, they walk around a light blue wall to get to their desks. On the wall is painted a prominent message in large whitish silver letters. It reads: SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY. A broad line is drawn through the first two SIMPLIFYs.”

“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”
“It is a known fact that pain and pleasure are the two most basic elements of life. But the secret is to simplify that fact.”
“Servitude simplifies life.”
