I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.
Michel de MontaigneIf ordinary people complain that I speak too much of myself, I complain that they do not even think of themselves.
Michel de MontaigneWhile our pulse beats and we feel emotion, let us put off the business. Things will truly seem different to us when we have quieted and cooled down. It is passion that is in command at first, it is passion that speaks, it is not we ourselves.
Michel de Montaigne
