"Montaigne says that we despise our own beings. You’re imprisoned in this tomb of self-proclaimed ugliness. We should try to recognize that we are animals. A dog doesn’t have a list of corrections for his body. He isn’t embarrassed about anything. We should recognize that the differences between our brain and an animal’s brain do bring us certain benefits, but they also bring us needless anxieties." @iamstephenwest@twitter.com on Michele de #Montaigne
