On Art:
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

–Donald Norman
On Science:
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
–Albert Einstein
On Programming:
Keep programs simple. But not too simple.
–Kramii (All Wrong)
Actually, I think Einstein’s was better.
