He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.
From Michel de Montaigne
There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.
It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.
Death, they say, acquits us of all obligations.
Let us not be ashamed to speak what we shame not to think.
When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her.
There is little less trouble in governing a private family than a whole kingdom.
Of all our infirmities, the most savage is to despise our being.
The world is all a carcass and vanity, The shadow of a shadow, a play And in one word, just nothing.
Confidence in others' honesty is no light testimony of one's own integrity.
