Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne:
( 28 February 1533, Château de Montaigne, Guyenne, Kingdom of France– 13 September 1592, Château de Montaigne, Guyenne, Kingdom of France ).
Commonly known as Michel de Montaigne,
was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance.
There can only be true friendship between equals.
I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
We were born to seek the truth.
A wise man creates his own destiny.
