The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called... - Gustave Flaubert

"Of all lies, art is the least untrue."

"An author in his book must be like God in the universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere."

"When you reduce a woman to writing, she makes you think of a thousand other women"

"God is only a word dreamed up to explain the world"

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