Additional quotes by Michel de Montaigne

It is putting a very high price on one's conjectures to have someone roasted alive on their account.

Love to his soul gave eyes; he knew things are not as they seem. The dream is his real life; the world around him is the dream.

The first law that ever God gave to man was a law of pure obedience; it was a commandment naked and simple, wherein man had nothing to inquire after, nor to dispute; forasmuch as to obey is the proper office of a rational soul, acknowledging a heavenly superior and benefactor.
