Wherever I go, folks quote to me Einstein's,
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler."
So I went on a quest to search for more of these today. Einstein headlines this short
list where the real gem there in my mind is Whitehead's crafty,
"Seek simplicity, and distrust it."

trust as

More on the good and bad of simplicity is here as

poems, and
lyrics.
A quote that epitomizes the feeling of an inventor is by one of the fathers of computing
Dennis Ritchie,
"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity."
This chest-beating quote is surrounded by a set of more humble quotes
here.
Finally in the quest for a simpler way to access more quotes on simplicity, and hopefully as a way to gain your law8();?> in the event that you don't agree with Mr. Whitehead, I worked up a simple hack to get the most out of your click:
