The denigration of those we lo...

The denigration of those we love always detaches us from them in some degree. Never touch your idols: the gilding will stick to your fingers.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

What stops me from taking myse...

What stops me from taking myself seriously, even though I am essentially a serious person, is that I find myself extremely ridiculous, not in the sense of the small-scale ridiculousness of slap-stick comedy, but rather in the sense of ridiculousness that seems intrinsic to human life and that manifests itself in the simplest actions and the most extraordinary gestures.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

The most important thing in the world is to hold your soul aloft.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory.

Since you are now studying geometry and trigonometry, I will give you a problem. A ship sails the ocean. It left Boston with a cargo of wool. It grosses 200 tons. It is bound for Le Havre. The mainmast is broken, the cabin boy is on deck, there are 12 passengers aboard, the wind is blowing East-North-East, the clock points to a quarter past three in the afternoon. It is the month of May. How old is the captain?

Writing history is like drinking an ocean and pissing a cupful.

When you reduce a woman to writing, she makes you think of a thousand other women

By trying to understand everything, everything makes me dream

God is only a word dreamed up to explain the world

He dreamed of funeral love, but dreams crumble and the tomb abides

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

He loved the extensive vaults ...

He loved the extensive vaults where you could hear the night birds and the sea breeze; he loved the craggy ruins bound together by ivy, those dark halls, and any appearance of death and destruction. Having fallen so far from so high a position, he loved anything that had also fallen from a great height

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

I am alone on this road strewn...

I am alone on this road strewn with bones and bordered by ruins! Angels have their brothers, and demons have their infernal companions. Yet I have but the sound of my scythe when it harvests, my whistling arrows, my galloping horse. Always the sound of the same wave eating away at the world

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

The more you approach infinity...

The more you approach infinity, the deeper you penetrate terror

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

There are two infinities that confuse me: the one in my soul devours me; the one around me will crush me

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

We think of women at every age...

We think of women at every age: while still children, we fondle with a naГЇve sensuality the breasts of those grown-up girls kissing us and cuddling us in their arms; at the age of ten, we dream of love; at fifteen, love comes along; at sixty, it is still with us, and if dead men in their tombs have any thought in their heads, it is how to make their way underground to the nearby grave, lift the shroud of the dear departed women, and mingle with her in her sleep

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

I tried to discover, in the ru...

I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Are the days of winter sunshine just as sad for you, too? When it is misty, in the evenings, and I am out walking by myself, it seems to me that the rain is falling through my heart and causing it to crumble into ruins.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

You need a high degree of corr...

You need a high degree of corruption or a very big heart to love absolutely everything

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Everyone, either from modesty ...

Everyone, either from modesty or egotism, hides away the best and most delicate of his soul's possessions; to gain the esteem of others, we must only ever show our ugliest sides; this is how we keep ourselves on the common level
