"Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n'y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n'y a plus rien à retrancher." ("It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove.")
So wrote aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900 — 1944) in his 1939 memoir Terre des Hommes.

As usual, you sent me off to do a little internet search. Saint Exupery was truly an exceptional person--thanks for inspiring me to do a little homework. Hope that you are back for good. Mary
