What hits you affects you and wakes you up more then what pleases you. - Michel de Montaigne

Man is certainly crazy. He could not make a mite, and he makes gods by the dozen.

If any one should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I feel it could no otherwise be expressed than by making answer, ‘Because it was he; because it was I.’ There is, beyond what I am able to say, I know not what inexplicable and inevitable power that brought on this union.

I have never seen a greater monster or miracle in the world than myself.
