Perfection in design is not achieved when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove. Seems like everyone has their own way of writing this wonderful quote,,,,any way you write it, it still tells a beautiful fact of our creative minds

Just wanted to drop a note and say thanks, it was great to find your site and I have used the above inspireUX quote on my blog post (http://www.two-tribes.com/blog/2009/06/23/less-is-more-400-more/) and linked to your site.
Keep up the good work.

I had a feeling this wasn’t quite right, but couldn’t find the original quote. Thank you for the correction! I have updated the quote accordingly, since I want to keep them as accurate as possible. The “designer” version is a popular quote, even though incorrect, so I’ve kept that as a link for those interested.

Thanks for the catch!

I’m splitting hairs here, but the quote is a little wrong: It starts “Perfection is achieved…”. Antoine de Saint Exupéry (1900-1944) wouldn’t have written about designers in this way.

As well as being the author of The Little Prince, he was also an amazingly talented pilot. His Autobiography Wind, Sand & Stars is fascinating.
