"Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication"

That is a quote from Leonardo DaVinci. If he is correct, which he must be because he's a scientist, then Nicholas and I live at the peak of sophistication! I think it is one of my new favorite quotes. Here are some more quotes on simplicity from complex minds, and photographs of simple things for some eye candy:

“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” -Albert Einstein
