​“Simplification leads to elegance. Simplification also implies common sense, a quality that seems to get rarer

as the world becomes bureaucratized.  Elegance … means that a problem has

been solved directly, un-self consciously,

with minimal effort and in such a way that

the object or product can be understood

easily and is a good fit with its environment.”​
