Notes
- 1.
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533–1592) was a French writer and philosopher.
- 2.
Comme notre esprit s’empesche soy-mesmes: “… Pareillement qui présupposera une fisselle également forte partout, il est impossiblé de toute impossibilité qu’elle rompe; car par \( {\rm o \grave{u}} \) voulez-vous que la faucée commence? Et de rompre par tout ensemble, il n’est pas en nature”. A less literal translation could be: “Let us imagine an evenly strong string; it is absolutely impossible that it breaks, because where do you want a defect to be initiated? And breaking everywhere at the same time is not a natural thing.”
- 3.
