“The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.”
Warren Buffett
“He (understood) from a child the simplicity of complex music and the complexity of simple music. He has something that I don't have, which is perfect pitch. He knows what key everything is by hearing it once.”
Carlos Santana
“Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.”
Albert Einstein
“A central lesson of science is that to understand complex issues (or even simple ones), we must try to free our minds of dogma and to guarantee the freedom to publish, to contradict, and to experiment. Arguments from authority are unacceptable.”
Carl Sagan
“I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.”
Oscar Wilde
“The complex develops out of the simple.”
Colin Wilson
“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.”
Herbert Simon
