My home...It is my retreat and resting place from wars, I try to keep this corner as a haven against the tempest outside, as I do another corner in my soul.

Michel de Montaigne
War, Home, Soul

My library is my kingdom, and here I try to make my rule absolute-shutting off this single nook from wife, daughter and society. Elsewhere I have only a verbal authority, and vague. Unhappy is the man, in my opinion, who has no spot at home where he can be at home to himself-to court himself and hide away.

Daughter, Home, Men
Michel de Montaigne (1956). “Autobiography: Comprising the Life of the Wisest Man of His Times ...”

Michel de Montaigne
Home, Desert, Degradation
Michel de Montaigne (1958). “Complete Essays”, p.42, Stanford University Press
