Simplicity Re-defined

Yawn.

I was lagging behind (10th April), but then again: I only found Bertrand yesterday in my list of 'related sites'. He picked up the topic from cocoon-dev mails in half february already, adding these interesting quotes to the simplicity theme:

  • "Perfection is achieved not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing left to remove" -- Antione de Saint-Exupéry (did notice this quote before on Sylvain's weblog of course)
  • "things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler" -- Albert Einstein.
  • "I'm writing you this long letter because I lack the time of writing a shorter one" -- Blaise Pascal

*update* And an other late entry from Sylvain:

  •  "Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible" -- Alan Kay (the same guy mentioning "The best way to predict the future is to invent it"

In fact, who was the one saying 'less is more' ? Ah, the architect pointed to by memories of Barcelona.

Hm, I remember me and my wife finding The Pavilion boring :-) Probably holiday life in Barcelona was already simple enough?
