I like snow and roses, calm and storm; I like to love, I like to hate. Every contradiction, every absurdity, every folly—I harbor them all.
Gustave Flaubert, from a notebook entry written c. January 1840

I do not know the name of the feeling that I have for you. But it is a special tenderness, something I have never felt until now, not for anyone.
— Gustave Flaubert in correspondence with George Sand; Croisset, 12 November 1866, Monday night, from Selected Letters

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happines, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.

I pass entire weeks without exchanging a word with a human being, and at the end of the week it is not possible for me to recall a single day nor any event whatsoever... The nights are black as ink, and a silence surrounds me comparable to that of the desert. Sensitiveness is increased immeasurably in such a setting. I have palpitations of the heart for nothing.
Gustave Flaubert, in a letter to George Sand (1867)

My soul has been haunted by something like those forgotten melodies that come back to us at twilight during those slow hours in which memory, like a ghost among ruins, stalks our thoughts.
