The Twenty-Ninth Year (Mariner Books)
“Le moyen mange le but – une bonne oisiveté au soleil est moins stérile que ces occupations où le cœur n’est pas.”
— Flaubert, Voyage en Orient
“Jetez-vous à corps perdu, ou plutôt à âme perdue, dans les lettres. Prenez un long travail et jurez-vous de l’accomplir. Lisez les maîtres profondément, non pour vous amuser, mais pour vous en pénétrer, et peu à peu vous sentirez tous les nuages qui sont en vous se dissoudre. Vous vous aimerez davantage, parce que vous contiendrez en votre esprit plus de choses.”
— Flaubert, lettre à Mlle Leroyer de Chantepie du 30 mars 1857.
