Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein

Andrew Breitbart

Ben Fogle

I do think we're in a period of time culturally where there is just this extraordinary connection that we have to our pets, and in many ways, they are displacing kids.

If we all lived according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, life would be much simpler.
People love westerns worldwide. There's something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It's a simpler time. There's no organized laws and stuff.

If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.
