It's beautiful. It's simple. It's powerful. It's Perlish.
Hear, here! Bravo! D'accord!
- Hans Hofmann:
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
- E. F. Schumacker:
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.
- Charles Mingus:
Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.
- Henry David Thoreau ("Where I Lived and What I Lived For" Walden):
Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify, simplify! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.
- William of Ockham (also known as Ockham's Razor)
Plurality should not be assumed without necessity.
- Mahlon Hoagland (Toward the Habit of Truth)
Simplicity is indeed often the sign of truth and a criterion of beauty.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
