Michel de Montaigne
“I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.”
Michel de Montaigne

Blaise Pascal
“The only thing that consoles us for our miseries is diversion. And yet it is the greatest of our miseries. For it is that above all which prevents us thinking about ourselves and leads is imperceptibly to destruction. But for that we should be bored, and boredom would drive us to seek some more solid means of escape, but diversion passes our time and brings us imperceptibly to our death.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Michel de Montaigne
“Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.”
Michel de Montaigne

Charlotte Brontë
“No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure. Happiness is a glory shining far down upon us out of Heaven. She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.”
Charlotte Brontë, Villette

Blaise Pascal
“All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quiet in a room alone.”
Blaise Pascal
