Michel de Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592)

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older. -Michel de Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592)

This quote reminds me that in western democracies it is much easier to be brave about speaking the truth than in many other times and places. May it remain so.
