Famous quotes containing the word simple:

    “It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.”
    —Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    “A more simple and natural man it would be hard to find. Vice and disease, which cast such a sombre moral hue over the world, seemed to have hardly any existence for him.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
