Beauty is appropriate simplicity. Every optimum solution --- the best tool for the job, the loveliest arrangement of design elements, the winning composition --- is direct, straightforward, and harmonious. Writing with a fountain pen ... choosing the right words ... finding the most efficient path to the goal ... all when successful are driven by the quest for simplicity.
