The book features a selection of quotations that reflect Montaigne's contemplative style and quite often focus on self-reflection and the human condition. The content of the book is primarily composed of various aphorisms and reflections that encapsulate Montaigne's thought process. Each quote serves as a succinct expression of ideas stemming from his expansive essays, which delve into topics such as the nature of friendship, the challenges of understanding oneself and others, and the philosophical musings on life and death.
