Title Of Sadness

Author Michel de Montaigne

Kind of Book Essay

How strongly I recommend it 9/10 

My Impressions Short and sweet. Well worth the read

 Big Ideas

  • Crying is a way for the soul to relax and release the pain

  • Some things are too sad for tears and instead turn the person to stone

  • If you are able to articulate how something hurt you or felt, you have not received the worst kind of pain or dramatic experience, because the worst kind of pain/dramatic experience cannot be articulated

  • You can die of excess emotion (eg. joy or sadness)
