This quote is a common myth and a perversion of what he really said:
“Complexity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: simplicity sells better.” ― Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
That's what he actually said, but many source misattribute the inverted version of the quotation.
