Quote by Lotfi A. Zadeh

Complexity is the enemy of clarity

— Andy Stanley

“The paradox of illuminating complexity is that it is inherently difficult to do so without erasing all of the nuance.”

— David Shenk

“Intelligibility or precision: to combine the two is impossible.”

— Bertrand Russell

“Simplicity may be simple, but like complexity it requires linguistic precision, and may therefore call for relatively obscure expressions at times.”

— John White

“complexity introduced the possibility of greater error and because no working tool needed greater errors.”

— L.E. Modesitt Jr

Do not be alarmed by simplification, complexity is often a device for claiming sophistication, or for evading simple truths.

— John Kenneth Galbraith

Be precise. A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small.

— Donald Rumsfeld

Complexity is not a cause of confusion. It is a result of it.

— Jeff Hawkins

“The only thing that words can do with any real precision or accuracy is hang together. Accuracy of description in language is not possible…

— Northrop Frye

“When scientists underestimate complexity, they fall prey to the perils of unintended consequences.”

— Siddhartha Mukherjee

“Increasing complexity is unsustainable”

— Giles Colborne

“When things consistently fail to compute, it does point to a consistently undefined possibility.”

— Edwin F. Becker
