      Death

      Jul 29, 2019

      The fear of death is very puzzling, in a way that regret about the end of life is not. It’s easy to understand that we might want to have more life, more of the things it contains, so that we see death as a negative evil. But how can the prospect of

      Dear C, My mind’s been on one lately, layering and repeating thoughts like a polyphonic refrain of obsession. Thankfully good writing is a mitigator: countering the feverish chorus of opinions and observations, it can quiet down what’s inside me. Goo

      THE ESSAYS OF MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE

      QUOTATIONS FROM THE FIVE VOLUMES

      With Five Etchings

      >

      A child should not be brought up in his mother's lap

      A gallant man does not give over his pursuit for being refused

      A generous heart ought not to belie its own thoughts

      A hundred more escape us than ever come to our knowledge

      A lady could not boast of her chastity who was never tempted

      A little cheese when a mind to make a feast

      A little thing will turn and divert us

      A man may always study, but he must not always go to school

      A man may govern himself well who cannot govern others so

      A man may play the fool in everything else, but not in poetry

      A man must either imitate the vicious or hate them

      A man must have courage to fear

      A man never speaks of himself without loss

      A man should abhor lawsuits as much as he may

      A man should diffuse joy, but, as much as he can, smother grief

      A man's accusations of himself are always believed

      A parrot would say as much as that

      A person's look is but a feeble warranty

      A well-bred man is a compound man

      A well-governed stomach is a great part of liberty

      A word ill taken obliterates ten years' merit

      Abhorrence of the patient are necessary circumstances

      Abominate that incidental repentance which old age brings

      Accept all things we are not able to refute

      Accommodated my subject to my strength

      Accursed be thou, as he that arms himself for fear of death

      Accusing all others of ignorance and imposition

      Acquiesce and submit to truth

      Acquire by his writings an immortal life

      Addict thyself to the study of letters

      Addresses his voyage to no certain, port

      Admiration is the foundation of all philosophy

      Advantageous, too, a little to recede from one's right

      Advise to choose weapons of the shortest sort

      Affect words that are not of current use

      Affection towards their husbands, (not) until they have lost them

      Affirmation and obstinacy are express signs of want of wit

      Affright people with the very mention of death

      Against my trifles you could say no more than I myself have said

      Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face

      Agesilaus, what he thought most proper for boys to learn?

      Agitated betwixt hope and fear

      Agitation has usurped the place of reason

      Alexander said, that the end of his labour was to labour

      All actions equally become and equally honour a wise man

      All apprentices when we come to it (death)

      All defence shows a face of war

      All I aim at is, to pass my time at my ease

      All I say is by way of discourse, and nothing by way of advice

      All judgments in gross are weak and imperfect

      All over-nice solicitude about riches smells of avarice

      All things have their seasons, even good ones

      All think he has yet twenty good years to come

      All those who have authority to be angry in my family

      Almanacs

      Always be parading their pedantic science

      Always complaining is the way never to be lamented

      Always the perfect religion

      Am as jealous of my repose as of my authority

      An advantage in judgment we yield to none

      An emperor, said he, must die standing

      An ignorance that knowledge creates and begets

      Ancient Romans kept their youth always standing at school

      And hate him so as you were one day to love
