“For likewise these are my humors and opinions; I offer them as what I believe, not what is to be believed. I aim here only at revealing myself, who will perhaps be different tomorrow, if I learn something new which changes me. I have no authority to be believed, nor do I want it, feeling myself too ill-instructed to instruct others.” (p. 132)

The essay “That to philosophize is to learn to die” is a rhetorical tour de force expounding his personal form of Stoicism. I will be returning to this one many times. It is amazing how much Montaigne’s writing feels like an intimate conversation with the man.
