Excerpt from Simplicity and Tolstoy
The whole world is certainly heading for a great simplicity, not deliberately, but rather inevitably. It is not a mere fashion of false innocence, like that of the French aristocrats before the Revolution, who built an altar to Pan, and Who taxed the peasantry for the enormous expenditure which is needed in order to live the simple.
