We must laugh and cry, enjoy and suffer, in a word, vibrate... - Gustave Flaubert

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

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

"Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings."

"One can be the master of what one does, but never of what one feels."

"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."
