Gustave Flaubert

“Life must be a constant education; one must learn everything, from speaking to dying.”

“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”

“A memory is a beautiful thing, it's almost a desire that you miss.”

“There is no truth. There is only perception.”

“You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies.”

“The future is the worst thing about the present.”

“Anything becomes interesting if you look at it long enough..”

“Success is a consequence and must not be a goal.”
