"I do not wish to erect a statue, placing it in the crossroads of the city center, within the realm of teaching, or in the midst of a square. I do not wish to exaggerate or fill it with empty words; I only wish for close conversation, a gentle exchange." Montaigne discusses topics such as the soul, eloquence, life and death, good and evil, equality, and arrogance in a calm and detailed manner, and readers see the spiritual confession of a humble individual.
