		Montaigne visited most of the famous cities of the north and centre, staying five months at Rome, where he had an audience of the pope and was made a Roman citizen, and finally establishing himself at the baths of Lucca for nearly as long a time.
		Montaigne is far too much occupied about all sorts of the minutest details of human life to make it for a moment admissible that he regarded that life as a whole but as smoke and vapour.
		Mme de Montaigne gave her a copy of the edition of 1588 annotated copiously; at the same time, apparently, she bestowed another copy, also annotated by the author, on the convent of the Feuillants in Bordeaux, to which the church in which his remains lay was attached.

	Essays (Montaigne) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montaigne wrote in a kind of crafted rhetoric designed to intrigue and involve the reader, sometimes appearing to move in a stream-of-thought from topic to topic and at other times employing a structured style which gives more emphasis to the didactic nature of his work.
		Montaigne's stated goal in his book is to describe man, and especially himself, with utter frankness.
		Montaigne is disgusted with the violent and, in his opinion, barbaric conflicts between Catholics and Protestants of his time, and his writings show a pessimism and skepticism quite uncharacteristic for the Renaissance.

		Overall, Montaigne was known to be a strong supporter of Humanism, even indirectly claiming humans equal to God.

		Montaigne's thought processes and his shifting attitudes to his sources, his sudden frisks from what he has experienced to what he has read and back again, these are what the Essays are.
		Montaigne's explorations of the processes of being are as important as the work of any significant philosopher in the Renaissance, despite their apparent lack of firm and consistent principle.
		She takes from Montaigne's longest essay, An Apology for Raymond Sebond, the part jocular claim that he is "a new figure: an unpremeditated and accidental philosopher", and seeks to explain what an "accidental philosopher" might be.

	Montaigne: On Solitude - Articles - House of Solitude - Hermitary
		Montaigne lived during the seething religious civil wars of France, which formed the heart of his reflections on how an intelligent person copes with a world gone mad.
		Montaigne quotes Juvenal, Horace, Virgil, Persius, Lucretius, Tibullus, Terence, and Propertius, but these are exercises required to display his wide reading and to identify him with the ancients, whom he projects to be saner company.
		This is Montaigne's Stoic compromise versus that of Lao-Tzu or the Desert Fathers: to continue to reside in the world but assume one is not of the world.

		Michel de Montaigne is considered by many to be the inventor of the literary form of the essay, so the collection from which these excerpts come is important in several ways.
		Montaigne was a humanist and a skeptic in his philosophical approach, and essentially looked at his own experience as the first topic for examination always.
		Montaigne was sometimes conventional in thought (seeing marriage as necessary for children, and distrusting the idea of romantic love), but other times he was very much a free thinker (particularly when it came to religious dogma or absolutist kinds of philosophical paradigms).

	Michel de Montaigne
		Montaigne was a Deist and although once, when he was ill, sent for a priest — "You can at any time get a priest to hold your hands and rub your feet," he remarks in one essay —; he may have been a secret Atheist.
		Montaigne's friend, Étienne Pasquier, believed he was doing the helpless essayist a service by calling the priest: Montaigne's tongue was paralyzed with quinsy.
		Montaigne died at Château Montaigne on 13 September 1592 at age 59 — but he died as he had lived: a Humanist, believing in God, but with a great disdain for the Church.

		Montaigne was one of those paradoxical characters who was both utterly lazy and completely devoted.
		Montaigne was wise because he was one of those rare characters who accepted his own humanity without the need to curse at it, exalt it, make it seem ordinary, and make it seem simple.
		But add to that Montaigne's central conviction that in the sight of God all things are small and you begin to get at the unobtrsively strange and humane part of his art.

		Translation: It is a thorny undertaking, and more so than it seems, to follow a movement so wandering as that of our mind, to penetrate the opaque depths of its innermost folds, to pick out and immobilize the innumerable flutterings that agitate it.
		For truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in every way; its use, noble as it is, has its circumscriptions and limits.

		Though Montaigne's marriage wasn't exactly one made in Heaven, we might well assume from the graph that at least the first 24 hours weren´t so bad!

	Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, 1533-1592
		There is a scholarly journal, Montaigne Studies, published yearly out of Chicago.
		I never yet saw that father, but let his son be never so decrepit or deformed, would not, notwithstanding, own him: not, nevertheless, if he were not totally besotted, and blinded with his paternal affection, that he did not well enough discern his defects: but that with all defaults, he was still his.
		To return to my subject, there is nothing like alluring the appetite and affections; otherwise you make nothing but so many asses laden with books; by dint of the lash, you give them their pocketful learning to keep; whereas, to do well, you should not only lodge it with them, but make them espouse it.
