Michel de MontaigneBehold the hands, how they promise, conjure, appeal, menace, pray, supplicate, refuse, beckon, interrogate, admire, confess, cringe, instruct, command, mock and what not besides, with a variation and multiplication of variation which makes the tongue envious.
Michel de MontaigneIf I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.
Michel de MontaigneWe are more unhappy to see people ahead of us than happy to see people behind us.
Michel de Montaigne
