The Essay - Montaigne
  • I long had a man in my house that lived ten or
    twelve years in the New World, discovered in
    these latter days, and in that part of it where
    Villegaignon landed Brazil . . . . I find that
    there is nothing barbarous and savage in that
    nation, by anything that I can gather, excepting,
    that every one gives the title of barbarism to
    everything that is not in use in his own country.
    As, indeed, we have no other level of truth and
    reason, than the example and idea of the opinions
    and customs of the place wherein we live. (519)
