“Даже машина, становясь совершеннее, делает свое дело все скромней и незаметней. Кажется, будто все труды человека – создателя машин, все его расчеты, все бессонные ночи над чертежами только и проявляются во внешней простоте; словно нужен был опыт многих поколений, чтобы все стройней и чеканней становились колонна, киль корабля или фюзеляж самолета, пока не обрели наконец первозданную чистоту и плавность линий груди или плеча. Кажется, будто работа инженеров, чертежников, конструкторов к тому и сводится, чтобы шлифовать и сглаживать, чтобы облегчить и упростить механизм крепления, уравновесить крыло, сделать его незаметным – уже не крыло, прикрепленное к фюзеляжу, но некое совершенство форм, естественно развившееся из почки, таинственно слитное и гармоническое единство, которое сродни прекрасному стихотворению. Как видно, совершенство достигается не тогда, когда уже нечего прибавить, но когда уже ничего нельзя отнять.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Планета людей
