More From Michel de Montaigne
- "It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others."
- "Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them."
- "For truly it is to be noted, that children’s plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions."

- "God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I’m not going to complain about the way my body is shaped."― Drew Barrymore
