I don’t know if I agree with all of the quotes, but I certainly enjoyed this video. The music felt purposely and it matched the content of the quotes well.
“I despise the pleasure of pleasing people whom I despise.”
“The most profound joy has more of gravity than gaiety in it.”
^These two quotes, timeless..
Great video
Great video, thank you for making and posting it!
Are you going to do another “talking head” video anytime soon? I loved your rants about postmodernism.
“Are you going to do another “talking head” video anytime soon?”
Unfortunately, months ago my computer stopped letting me import videos from my camera. I have no idea what happened. Luckily, I can still make text videos.
I am about to read the final essay of Montaigne’s. It took me several months to work my way through the entire book- I’ve been busy.
I think this is my new favorite text ever written.
I have over 8 pages of quotations collected.
Sheer genius!
