One I saw a few years ago is that Clojure is intended to bring "simplicity, empowerment and focus" to programmers.

Also note the current introduction phrase on clojure.org:

Clojure is a robust, practical, and fast programming language with a
set of useful features that together form a simple, coherent, and
powerful tool

Another nice one from Stuart Halloway, although it was for presenting Datomic Ions not Clojure: "we want to have fun writing fns".

This isn't "official" by any means, but Clojure seems to handily win the "Economic Argument" (i.e., switching cost, productivity, minimizing bugs, etc). So I'll throw in:

"It's economics, stupid."

Data is easy; so does programming.

If programming is not about DATA, it is fundamentally wrong.
