Montaigne: I thicken and toughen my skin daily through reasoning
I am rarely subject to such violent emotions. I am not of a sensitive nature and I thicken and toughen my skin daily through reasoning.
- Michel de Montaigne, On Sadness (1588)
I am rarely subject to such violent emotions. I am not of a sensitive nature and I thicken and toughen my skin daily through reasoning.
