My favorite person to quote of all time: 16th Century essayist, Michel De Montaigne. Brilliant.
“Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm or a flea and yet will create Gods by the dozen!”
"There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent."
“I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.”
“[Marriage] happens as with cages: the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair of getting out.”
“Kings and philosophers shit—and so do ladies.”
“How many things were articles of faith to us yesterday that are fables to us today?”
If you're only going to read one: Read my favorite of his ...
“The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.”
