The best artists know what to leave out. They know how much of the support should show through as the pigment is applied, what details aren't necessary.

Artists aren't necessarily business people. And they aren't necessarily aware of all the things that go on in their names. Some just want to make some music, but there is a lot of greed among artists as well. Whether or not we know it, we are all to blame. I think it's time starting with the artist to try to be a little more responsible and aware of what goes on in our name.
Tom Petty
Artists who don't paint aren't artists.
Billy Childish
To the designer of programming languages, I say: unless you can support the paradigms I use when I program, or at least support my extending your language into one that does support my programming methods, I don't need your shiny new languages. [...] To persuade me of the merit of your language, you must show me how to construct programs in it.
Robert W Floyd
The man in charge must concern himself with details. If he does not consider them important, neither will his subordinates. Yet the devil is in the details. It is hard and monotonous to pay attention to seemingly minor matters. In my work, I probably spend about ninety-nine percent of my time on what others may call petty details. Most managers would rather focus on lofty policy matters. But when the details are ignored, the project fails. No infusion of policy or lofty ideals can then correct the situation.
Hyman G. Rickover
This is to show the world that I can paint like Titian. [A big drawing of a rectangle] Only technical details are missing.
