Thought


{Found eggshells photograph taken with a Polaroid 250 Land camera.}

"Does knowing mean nothing to you, unless somebody else knows that you know it?"

{Persius, Satires, I, xxiii; via Michel De Montaigne, On Solitude.}

Reading On solitude I'm amazed how truly timeless Michel De Montaigne's words and ideas are; given that he was writing during the Renaissance, they are as fresh as today.
Plus the new penguin book covers are beautifully purple and tactile.
