C.A.R. Hoare, on software complexity



   "I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software 
  design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously 
  no deficiencies, and the other way is make it so complicated that 
  there are no obvious deficiencies." 

  - C.A.R. Hoare, The Emperor's Old Clothes, Turing Award lecture 
    (1980).
