“Don't be fooled by the many books on complexity or by the many complex and arcane algorithms you find in this book or elsewhere. Although there are no textbooks on simplicity, simple systems work and complex don't.”
“Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves.”
“Simplicity is complex.”
“For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.”
“Life is not complex. It is made to be complex. Complex issues are developed around simple issues.”
“The issue is complex, but like many matters in Sudan, it is not as complex as Khartoum would want the west to believe.”
