@JoanBuades «que el menjar era, com les altres drogues, contra la malaltia de la fam»

Malaltia que comparteixen tots els éssers vius i que remou la vida.

Sens dubte li cridem constantment a la natura que nosaltres no som d'aquest mon.

M'ho he de mirar a #Montaigne

De 1580 (!). Michel de Montaigne: “No em refie dels invents de la nostra ment, de la nostra ciència i del nostre art; en favor d’això hem abandonat la natura, com també les seues regles, i no sabem tenir ni moderació ni límit”. Saviesa perenne sempre enmig del caos de l’avui. #Montaigne #filosofiaperenne

A quotation from Montaigne

Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
 
[Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

A quotation from Montaigne

There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
 
[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]

Michel de Montaigne retired to a tower in 1571 to ask one question: "What do I know?"
Reading about him this week gave me the nudge to build a small tribute — 107 excerpts from his Essays, one per chapter. 📖

Whether you've never heard of him or know him well, something in here will stop you mid-scroll.

A quotation from Montaigne

Not being able to control events, I control myself, and adapt myself to them if they do not adapt themselves to me.
 
[Ne pouvant regler les evenemens, je me regle moy-mesme: & m’applique à eux, s’ils ne s’appliquent à moy.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Cohen (1958)]
