I hate it when ‘inspirational’ quotes are attributed to the person with the largest audience and not the people who came up with it, like in this case, the engineers at Lockheed’s Skunk Works.

It's an apocryphal quote.

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Or Colin Chapman at Lotus: "Simplify, then add lightness." Could just be wise advice :)

I like this. A lot.

You would be amazed
