Bertolt Brecht...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
John Gallhttp://ivory.idyll.org/blog/apr-09/pursuing-simplicityA complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.
Grady BoochAll interesting software-intensive systems are messy creations, full of gorp required to address the fringe cases of behavior expected of the system and spotted with scar tissue (from late night, critical, gotta-do-it-or-the-company-tanks repairs) and vestigial organs (formed from old, tired software that no one has had the time to purge).
Steve Yeggehttp://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/12/codes-worst-enemy.htmlBigger is just something you have to live with in Java. Growth is a fact of life. Java is like a variant of the game of Tetris in which none of the pieces can fill gaps created by the other pieces, so all you can do is pile them up endlessly.

Steffen GlückseligEinfachheit, Pointiertheit sind ein Zeichen dafür, dass etwas druchdacht wurde. Deshalb sind Gesundheitsreformen, Steuererklärungen und Gesetze kompliziert.
Albert EinsteinEverything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
H. L. MenckenFor every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
Albert EinsteinI believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
Sir Charles Antony Richard (C. A. R.) Hoarehttp://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1446 - Out of the TarpitI conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
Blaise PascalI have made this letter longer than usual, because I lack the time to make it short.
Poul AndersonI have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when looked at in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
Rich Hickeyhttp://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/rich-hickey-geek-of-the-week/I think programmers have become inured to incidental complexity, in particular by confusing familiar or concise with simple. And when they encounter complexity, they consider it a challenge to overcome, rather than an obstacle to remove. Overcoming complexity isn't work, it's waste.
Rich HickeyI think programmers have become inured to incidental complexity... when they encounter complexity, they consider it a challenge to overcome, rather than an obstacle to remove.
Overcoming complexity isn't work, it's waste.
Richard Hamming in "You and Your Research"I think that books which try to digest, coordinate, get rid of the duplication, get rid of teh less fruitful methods and present the underlying ideas clearly of what we know now, will be the things the future generations will value.
Rob Andrews - Jython and SwingIf it were any simpler, it would be illegal.
http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/ch04s05.htmlIn science, strong theories tend to be simple, yet have almost infinite potential for complexity in application.
Meyers' Law, wer auch immer dieser Meyer ist...It is a simple task to make things complex, but a complex task to make things simple.
Scott McKayIt's better to make something extendable by somebody else than to waste your time making it so complete that simplicity goes away.
Keep simple things simple, make complex things possible.
Steffen GlückseligKomplexität ist eine Eigenschaft des Problems.
Kompliziertheit ist eine Eigenschaft der Problemlösung.
http://www.gungfu.de/facts/wiki/Main/PrematureOptimizationMake it work. Make it right. Make it beautiful. Make it fast.
http://www.mindview.net/WebLog/log-0060Make simple things simple, dangerous things difficult, but for goodness sake, let me do my job.
Charles MingusMaking the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.
William Strunk Jrhttp://www.two-sdg.demon.co.uk/curbralan/papers/BrevityIsTheSoulOfWit.htmlNote, that when a sentence is made stronger, it usually becomes shorter. Thus brevity is a by-product of vigour.
Grady BoochOur ability to imagine complex applications will always exceed our ability to develop them.
Albert EinsteinPerfektion der Mittel - Konfusion der Ziele.
Wilfred PetersonSee it big, and keep it simple.

Out of the Tarpit - http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1446Simplicity can only be attained if it is recognised, sought and prized.

Hans HofmannThe ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
Hans HoffmannThe ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
Edsger Wybe DijkstraThe competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague.
Bill JensenThe paradox of simplicity is that making things simpler is hard work.
Sir Charles Antony Richard (C. A. R.) HoareOut of the Tarpit - http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1446The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity.
Will ClingerThe purpose of abstraction is to simplify things so our limited brain-power has some chance of success.
Willard GibbsThe whole is simpler than the sum of its parts.
The Dude in - The Big Lebowski -This could be a lot more uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean it just might, it might not be such a simple, uh, you know?
LaoTseTo attain knowledge, add things everyday;
to obtain wisdom, remove things everyday.
Clifford AshleyTo me, the simple act of tying a knot is an adventure in unlimited space. A bit of string affords a dimensional latitude that is unique among the entities. For an uncomplicated strand is a palpable object that, for all practical purposes, possesses one dimension only. If we move a single strand in a plane, interlacing it at will, actual objects of beauty and utility can result in what is practically two dimensions, and if we choose to direct our strand out of this one plane, another dimension is added, which provides opportunity for an excursion that is limited only by the scope of our own imagery and the length of the ropemakers coil.
What can be more wonderful than that?
Clement Mok, Chief Creative Officer, SapientVery often, people confuse simple with simplistic. The nuance is lost on most.
Elements of StyleVigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in
AristotelesWas es alles gibt, was ich nicht brauche!
Andy GoldsworthyWie mühvoll es ist, Müheloses zu schaffen.
