I also like this quote from Antoine de Saint Exupéry: "Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n'y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n'y a plus rien à retrancher", which can be translated as: "Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away".

I feel that way about code too. I love getting rid of stuff that's overly complex or unnecessary without compromising useful functionality.
