Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il ny a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il ny a plus rien à retrancher.It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove. Antoine de Saint Exupéry, LAvion Variant translations: Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.As translated by Lewis Galantière Perfection is attained not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.
