More From Michel De Montaigne

To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquility in our conduct. our great and glorious masterpiece is to live appropriately. all other things, ruling, hoarding, building, are only little appendages and props, at most.

I win, you win. you win, i win. the gun, i win. the fruit, you win. i win, you win.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

It may sound funny, but i love the south. i don't choose to live anywhere else. there's land here, where a man can raise cattle, and i'm going to do it some day. there are lakes where a man can sink a hook and fight the bass. there is room here for my children to play and grow, and become good citizens-if the white man will let them.

The welfare state corrupts family life. even democrats have acknowledged the destructive consequences of the welfare state on the underclass. it has rendered vast numbers of male unnecessary to females, who have looked to the state to support them and their children (and the more children, the more state support) rather than to husbands. in effect, these women took the state as their husband.

I don't have children, but my work life is as important to me as anything could be. i've dedicated a lot of time and energy and years to it. some might say some of my childbearing years to it. in and of itself, my work is like a child to me. that is my reality.
