Additional quotes by Gustave Flaubert

Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.

For every bourgeois, in the heat of youth, if only for a day, for a minute, has believed himself capable of immense passions, of heroic enterprises. The most mediocre libertine has dreamed of oriental princesses; every rotary carries about inside him the debris of a poet.

To be simple is no small matter.

She was as sated with him as he was tired of her. Emma had rediscovered in adultery all the banality of marriage. - Gustave Flaubert
