If I Were Allowed to Live Another Life
Literature如果容许我再过一次人生
(french) Montaigne, Translated By Chen Jialu
"If I were Allowed to Live Again" is a collection of Montaigne's essays full of brilliance of life wisdom. May we be like Montaigne: when it's time to dance, I dance, when it's time to sleep, I sleep. Even if I am walking alone in a beautiful garden, if my thoughts turn to something unrelated to the walk for a moment, I will quickly take my thoughts back and let them think about the garden, the joy of being alone, and myself. Our responsibility is to adjust our living habits, not to write books and lectures; to make our behavior orderly, not to envy or expand possessions. Our most heroic and glorious career is to live comfortably.
