When I express my opinions it is so as to reveal the measure of my sight not the measure of the thing
Montaigne, essay 'on books'
‘Animals frequently had the upper hand [over humans] in love as well. Montaigne read enviously of an elephant who had fallen in love with a flower-seller in Alexandria. When being led through the market, he knew how to slip his wrinkled trunk through her neckband and would massage her breasts with a dexterity no human could match.’
p120 Consolations of Philosophy, Alain de Botton
