Because of the interesting effects of entropy, a password like badassmotherfuckingpassword is a lot more secure, and easier to remember, than 14jt!4jr. Basically, length is superior to character complexity by a large factor, especially in terms of being able to remember it.

Easier, but not more secure if a serious hostile system is after you. We had to make up our own passwords and submit them for testing, and that only got us into the lowest level network. (The big vulnerability was still human—password sharing and such.) The crap that Manning pulled should have been no surprise.
