"Political ideas must be simple. Which is not to say they must be facile. To the contrary, the most profound propositions are often the simplest as well. Whitehead's [Alfred North] rule to 'seek simplicity and distrust it' is appropriately cautionary, but he did first of all say: Seek simplicity."
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Counting Our Blessings, page 330
