Daily quote |
Gustave Flaubert(1821 – 1880) A influential French writer and playwright, widely considered one of the greatest novelists in Western literature. He is known especially for his first published novel "Madame Bovary". Anything becomes interesting if you look at it long enough. Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity. Life must be a constant education; one must learn everything, from speaking to dying. Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings. Madame Bovary is myself. Nothing is more humiliating than to see idiots succeed in enterprises we have failed in. Of all lies, art is the least untrue. |
