God is only a word dreamed up to explain the world - Gustave Flaubert

"One mustn't ask apple trees for oranges, France for sun, women for love, life for happiness."

"There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it"

"The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments."

"I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings."

"One mustn't ask apple trees for oranges, France for sun, women for love, life for happiness."
