Everything that's simple isn't right, and everything that's complicated is unusable? Did I translate that about right? My French lessons in school were long ago.

Um... something about things being written down for certain...?
My Latin lessons were even longer ago than my French ones, and I slept through most of them.
Anyway, my own favorite quote:
"Wees uzelf!" zei ik tot iemand,
Maar hij kon het niet; hij was niemand.
By P.A. de Génestet.
In English:
"Be yourself!" I said to someone,
But he couldn't; he was no-one.
