A Quote by Harry Callahan

I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place. — © Harry Callahan
I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.

I have always tried to achieve a prose that is easy and conversational. And those who think this is simple should try it for themselves.
I want to sing simple things for the simple lives of simple people.
