I'm rereading an old favorite

"If I look at any small part of it, I can see what is going on -- I don't need to refer to other parts to understand what something is doing.

"If I look at any large part in overview, I can see what is going on -- I don't need to know all the details to get it.

"Every level of detail is as locally coherent and as well thought-out as any other level."

— Richard Gabriel, "The Quality Without A Name" (page 42)
