My favorite quote (so far, I'm not very far into it) from the book:


Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.

-- Antoine de St. Exupery

------------------------------------------------------
reminds me very much of Einstein's:

Make everything as simple as possible,
but not simpler.

------------------------------------------------------
and:

Have nothing in your houses that is not useful
or you do not believe to be beautiful.

                                            -- William Morris
------------------------------------------------------

I guess I like the minimalist approach :-)
