More From Michel De Montaigne

I asked myself, 'how are you going to change all these people, they have different values, different customs, different language, different interpretations?' so that’s the time i joined the ku klux klan in miami. the reason i joined is to see if i could change them. so i dissolved that organization in a month-and-a-half, alone. [applause] then i joined the white citizen council. the wcc hates foreigners – all foreigners. so i joined that organization; i dissolved it in one month.

I got a rejection letter from an editor at harpercollins, who included a report from his professional reader. this report shredded my first-born novel, laughed at my phrasing, twirled my lacy pretensions around and gobbed into the seething mosh pit of my stolen clichés. as i read the report, the world became very quiet and stopped rotating. what poisoned me was the fact that the report's criticisms were all absolutely true. the sound of my landlady digging in the garden got the world moving again. i slipped the letter into the trash... knowing i'd remember every word.

The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? if it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. if goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.

Every news agency basically is identical. now, they may not report stories in the same order, and they may not report stories in the same day, but they all report the same thing about every story.

You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. you can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, in other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. and there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.
Kindness Giving Feelings
Goodness has no opposite. most of us consider goodness as the opposite of the bad or evil and so throughout history in any culture goodness has been considered the other face of that which is brutal. so man has always struggled against evil in order to be good; but goodness can never come into being if there is any form of violence or struggle.
