The Paradox of Minimalism may be summed up in one sentence:

"If less is more, how little is too much?"

There are NIL Google results for that phrase, a quotation now attributable to Possom Cohen, New Zealand.

Time becomes more valuable as one ages. This is a classic example of the Paradox of Minimalism. The Paradox of Minimalism is related to the passage of time and to The Holiday Paradox.

Bonnie Raitt addressed the passage of time and the Paradox of Minimalism in her song "Nick Of Time."

Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time

"I see my folks are getting on And I watch their bodies change I know they see the same in me And it makes us both feel strange

No matter how you tell yourself It's what we all go through Those lines are pretty hard to take When they're staring back at you

Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time

When did the choices get so hard With so much more at stake Life gets mighty precious When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste

Mmm-m-m-m-m-m Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time"

There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”

― Woody Allen, Annie Hall: Screenplay
