Additional quotes by Michel de Montaigne

İnsanın doğuşunu görmekten herkes kaçar ama ölümünü görmeye hep koşa koşa gideriz. İnsanı öldürmek için gün ışığında, geniş meydanlar ararız ama onu yaratmak için karanlık köşelere gizleniriz.

Si, avons nous beau monter sur des échasses, car sur des échasses encore faut-il marcher de nos jambes. Et au plus élevé trône du monde, si ne sommes assis que sur notre cul.

The most fruitful and natural exercise for our minds is, in my opinion, conversation.

I have seen no more evident monstrosity and miracle in the world than myself. - Michel de Montaigne
