Always trying Quote by Colin Hay

“As you get older you don't want to just do the same thing, otherwise there's not much point. I think it's more or less trying to write things that, perhaps, say more by doing less, or you're always trying to refine things, make things a little simpler, a little more essential.” quote by Colin Hay — Download Open image
