You'll always have to deal with bastards, being lied to, deceived, slandered and ridiculed, but that's to be expected and you must thank heaven when you meet the exception.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

It is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. Such are the melancolies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling.

Talent is long patience. ...

Talent is long patience.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

My God, this novel makes me b...

My God, this novel makes me break out in a cold sweat! Do you know how much I've written in five months, since the end of August? Sixty-five pages! Each paragraph is good in itself and there are some pages that are perfect. I feel certain. But just because of this, it isn't getting on. It's a series of well-turned, ordered paragraphs which do not flow on from each other. I shall have to unscrew them, loosen the joints, as one does with the masts of a ship when one wants the sail to take more wind.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

It seems to me... that I have...

It seems to me... that I have always lived! I possess memories that go back to the Pharoahs. I see myself very clearly at different ages of history, practicing different professions... My present personality is the result of my lost [past] personalities.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

I had, as I told you, a great...

I had, as I told you, a great passion while still almost a child. When it was over, I divided myself in two, placing on one side the soul I kept for Art, and on the other, my body, which would have to fend for itself.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

And he beholds the moon; like a rounded fragment of ice filled with motionless light.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Sentences must stir in a book...

Sentences must stir in a book like leaves in a forest, each distinct from each despite their resemblance.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

May I die like a dog rather than hasten the ripening of a sentence by a single second!

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Love, she thought, must come ...

Love, she thought, must come suddenly, with great outbursts and lightnings,--a hurricane of the skies, which falls upon life, revolutionises it, roots up the will like a leaf, and sweeps the whole heart into the abyss.

Talent is a long patience. ...

Talent is a long patience.

As for the piano, the faster her fingers flew over it, the more he marveled. She struck the keys with aplomb and ran from one end of the keyboard to the other without a stop.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

Ah! In fact there are two mor...

Ah! In fact there are two moralities ... The petty one, the conventional one, the one devised by men, that keeps changing and bellows so loudly, making a commotion down here among us, in a perfectly pedestrian way ... But the other one, the eternal one, is all around and above us, like a landscape that surrounds us and the blue sky that gives us light.

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

… Her heart remained empty on...

… Her heart remained empty once more, and the procession of days all alike began again. So they were going to follow one another, like this, in line, always identical, innumerable, bringing nothing!

Gustave Flaubert 360 quotes

I go dreaming into the future...

I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.

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

He had the vanity to believe ...

He had the vanity to believe men did not like him – while men simply did not know him.

DAGUERREOTYPE Will take the place of painting. (See PHOTOGRAPHY.) (From The Dictionary of Received Ideas, assembled from notes Flaubert made in the 1870s.)

There are some men whose only mission among others is to act as intermediaries; one crosses them like bridges and keeps going.

What a heavy oar the pen is, and what a strong current ideas are to row in!
