I do believe in simplicity.

It is astonishing, as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit.

— Henry David Thoreau

That final clause, in modern language:

How singular an affair he thinks he must omit = How every matter seems uniquely important when he tries to decide what can be left undone.
