The world is but a school of inquisition; it is not who shall enter the ring, but who shall run the best courses.
Michel de MontaigneGreat authors, when they write about causes, adduce not only those they think are true but also those they do not believe in, provided they have some originality and beauty. They speak truly and usefully enough if they speak ingeniously.
Michel de MontaigneOh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm or a flea and yet will create Gods by the dozen!
Michel de Montaigne
