A quotation from Montaigne

I only quote others the better to quote myself.
 
[Je ne dis les autres, sinon pour d’autant plus me dire.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 1, ch. 25 (1.25), “Of the Education of Children [De l’institution des enfans]” (1579) [tr. Screech (1987), 1.26]

Weird #phrasing. I'm watching a YouTube video where the host has just said “Over a dozen and half Russian generals have been jailed.”

Think about that. He means "nineteen", right? Otherwise he'd say "twenty" or "over twenty". So why didn't he say "almost twenty"? The phrasing he used seems awkward to me. #usage

"Occasionally, we even glimpse naked actors, relaxing between shoots with rollers in their hair, as fully dressed crew members organise their equipment."

Parents, porn sets and Bob’s Big Boy combos: how Larry Sultan photographed American domestic life

He shot 100 kitschly decorated homes rented out for porn shoots – and spent nine years on a project about his mum and dad. Has any photographer better captured everyday America?

Feels like there's a party in my mouth!  

And everyone can come!
