Gustave Flaubert: Cytaty po angielsku
Correspondence, Letters to Mademoiselle Leroyer de Chantepie
Wariant: Do not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live.
Kontekst: Do not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live. (June 1857)
“Don't talk to me about your hideous reality! What does it mean — reality?”
Gustave Flaubert książka Sentimental Education
Pt. 1, Ch. 4
Sentimental Education (1869)
Kontekst: Don't talk to me about your hideous reality! What does it mean — reality? Some see things black, others blue — the multitude sees them brute-fashion. There is nothing less natural than Michael Angelo; there is nothing more powerful! The anxiety about eternal truth is a mark of contemporary baseness; and art will become, if things go on in that way, a sort of poor joke as much below religion as it is below poetry, and as much below politics as it is below business. You will never reach its end — yes, its end! — which is to cause within us an impersonal exaltation, with petty works, in spite of all your finished execution.
“Of all the icy blasts that blow on love, a request for money is the most chilling.”
Gustave Flaubert Pani Bovary

Correspondence, Letters to Mademoiselle Leroyer de Chantepie
“Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work.”
Soyez réglé dans votre vie et ordinaire comme un bourgeois, afin d'être violent et original dans vos œuvres. To Gertrude Tennant (December 25, 1876)
Correspondence
Wariant: Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work.

Correspondence, Letters to Madame Louise Colet
“For some men, the stronger their desire, the more difficult it is for them to act.”
Gustave Flaubert książka Sentimental Education
Pt. 2, Ch. 3
Sentimental Education (1869)
Kontekst: For some men, the stronger their desire, the more difficult it is for them to act. They are hampered by mistrust of themselves, daunted by the fear of giving offence; besides, deep feelings of affection are like respectable women; they are afraid of being found out and they go through life with downcast eyes.
“Exuberance is better than taste”
Gustave Flaubert książka Sentimental Education
Pt. 1, Ch. 4; the most famous portion of this statement is "Exuberance is better than taste…" [Mieux vaut l'exubérance que le goût.]
Sentimental Education (1869)
Kontekst: Without ideality, there is no grandeur; without grandeur there is no beauty. Olympus is a mountain. The most effective monument will always be the Pyramids. Exuberance is better than taste; the desert is better than a streetpavement, and a savage is surely better than a hairdresser!
