Selected Quote

I believe that almost all important, useful ideas are simple. Peter Whittle has recently put it nicely in an autobiographical essay. 'If a piece of work is heavy and complicated then it is wrong.' ... Some writers feel that to express their ideas in simple terms is degrading. Some use complexity to disguise the paucity of their material. In fact, simplicity is a virtue and when, as here, it is both original and useful, it can represent a real advance in knowledge.
