"Un intellectuel dit une chose simple de manière compliquée. Un artiste dit une chose compliquée de manière simple."

Charles Bukowski

Simplified Meaning:

Some people, like intellectuals, make things that should be easy to understand sound very complicated. They use fancy words and complex ideas. For example, a scientist might explain a rainbow with detailed information about light and refraction, which most people find hard to follow. On the other hand, artists can explain difficult or deep ideas in a way that everyone can understand. Think about a beautiful painting of a rainbow; it doesn't need words to show how amazing and colorful it is. This idea suggests that to effectively communicate, it’s better to make things simple and clear. If you want people to understand big or tough ideas, try to say them in a straightforward and easy-to-grasp way, just like how an artist would communicate through their work.
