Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We find ourselves more taken ...

We find ourselves more taken with the running up and down, the games, and puerile simplicities of our children, than we do, afterward, with their most complete actions; as if we had loved them for our sport, like monkeys, and not as men.

Nature has, herself, I fear, ...

Nature has, herself, I fear, imprinted in man a kind of instinct to inhumanity.

I seek in the reading of books, only to please myself, by an honest diversion.

How often, being moved under a false cause, if the person offending makes a good defense and presents us with a just excuse, are we angry against truth and innocence itself?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Socrates, who was a perfect model in all great qualities, ... hit on a body and face so ugly and so incongruous with the beauty of his soul, he who was so madly in love with beauty.
