1029Foreign Language Friday: Jonas Rabbe sent this in from Søllerød, Denmark.through the SOTM Flickr group. It means: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Jonas wrote: “One of my colleagues told me this quote from Antoine de Saint Exupéry, although he said it in English. For some reason it really resonates with me, and I try to live by it, at work as in the rest of my life. I guess you could also write it in another way: KISS.

“Taken at my usual corner at home: white wall behind, white wall to the right, stairs where you can fall to your sudden death to the left, perfect place for taking simply lit portraits.”
