Michel de Montaigne on Love

← Back to Michel de Montaigne Profile
“Celuy ayme peu qui ayme à la mesure. He loves little who loves by rule.”
Michel de Montaigne
“If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed than by making answer, Because it was he; because it was I. There is beyond all that I am able to say, I know not what inexplicable and fated power that brought on this union.”
Michel de Montaigne
