Quote by Michel de Montaigne

Who does not in some sort live to others, does not live much to himself.

Who does not in some sort live to others, does not live much

Summary

This quote suggests that our lives are enriched when we live not only for ourselves, but also for others. It implies that self-centeredness and isolation limit our personal growth and fulfillment. By actively engaging with and helping others, we not only bring value to their lives but also enhance our own sense of purpose and happiness. Living for others allows us to make meaningful connections, contribute to society, and cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves. In essence, by living to others, we actually live more fully for ourselves.

And actually when I left home, home was a restaurant - like I said, my mother was a chef. So I can't remember any time in my life, from age 5, 6, that I wasn't in a kitchen.
