About This Quote
The peasant is the only species of human being who doesn't like the country and never looks at it. The peasant is one of the most interesting people that exist, because they are very hard to get to know. They are very closed off, since they are used to living simple lives, and they also tend to be more honest than people in the city. When you're around them, their face will seem very grim and bitter at times, but they are not evil or bad people. They just live simple lives which include eating simple meals, sleeping simple hours and spending their free time doing very little.
