Simplicity

"The simple person lives the way he breathes, with no more effort or glory, with no more affectation and without shame... Simplicity is freedom, buoyancy, transparency. As simple as the air, as free as the air... The simple person does not take himself too seriously or too tragically...He has nothing to prove, since he has no appearances to keep up, and nothing to seek, since everything is before him. What is more simple than simplicity? What is lighter? It is the virtue of wise men and the wisdom of saints."

- Andre Comte-Sponville
