It is a monstrous thing that i will say, but i will say it all the same: i find in many things more restraint and order in my morals than in my opinions, and my lust less depraved than my reason.

It Is A Monstrous Thing That I

Michel De Montaigne

More From Michel De Montaigne

Restraint never ruins one's health. what ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. a really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. the very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.
Self Ruins Firsts
First of all, i love women. but i lust after beautiful women in the way that i lust after a beautiful piece of sculpture - this will probably get me in trouble - or a beautiful car. i believe everyone's on a sliding scale of sexuality. there are moments where i am sexually attracted to women. but it doesn't overpower my first impulse; my lust for them is the same as my lust for beauty in all things.
Beautiful Believe Car
Love makes the world go 'round, it's true, but lust stops the world in its tracks; love renders bearable the passage of time, lust causes time to stand still, lust kills time, which is not to say that it wastes it or whiles it aimlessly away but rather that it annihilates it, cancels it, extirpates it from continuum; preventing, while lasts, any lapse into the tense and shabby woes of temporal society, lust is the thousand-pound odometer needle on the dashboard of the absolute.
Track Lust World
There can be no sexual love without lust; but, on the other hand, until the currents of lust in the organism have been irradiatedas to affect other parts of the psychic organism--at the least the affections and the social feelings--it is not yet sexual love. lust, the specific sexual impulse, is indeed the primary and essential element in this synthesis, for it alone is adequate to the end of reproduction, not only in animals but in men. but it is not until lust is expanded and irradiated that it develops into the exquisite and enthralling flower of love.
Love Flower Men
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, but lust's effect is tempest after sun; love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; love surfeits not, lust like a glutton dies; love is all truth, lust full of forged lies.
Love Summer Spring
A lot of us have developed a diet mentality toward lust. we really want to cut back on lust because we know its not healthy and it makes us feel bad. but like some rich, calorie-laden chocolate dessert, lust is just too tasty to resist completely. surely god will understand if we break our diet and nibble a little lust now and then.

I cannot love evergreens - they are the misanthropes of nature. to them the spring brings no promise, the autumn no decline; they are cut off from the sweetest of all ties with their kind - sympathy. ... i will have no evergreens in my garden; when the inevitable winter comes, every beloved plant and favorite tree shall drop together - no solitary fir left to triumph over the companionship of decay.
Spring Autumn Cutting
I was crying and laughing, snuffing tears and blood, bumping at him with my bound hands, trying awkwardly to thrust them at him so that he could cut the rope. he quit grappling, and clutched me so hard against him that i yelped in pain as my face was pressed against his plaid. he was saying something else, urgently, but i couldn’t manage to translate it. energy pulsed through him, hot and violent, like the current in a live wire, and i vaguely realized that he was still almost berserk; he had no english.
