Writing is a dog’s life, but the only one worth living. - Gustave Flaubert

"The public wants work which flatters its illusions."

"Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work."

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

"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."

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