Gustave Flaubert Quotes

Everyone, He Thought, Must Have Adored Her; All Men Assuredly Must Have Coveted Her. She Seemed But The More Beautiful To Him For This; He Was Seized With A Lasting, Furious Desire For Her, That Inflamed His Despair, And That Was Boudless, Because It Was Now Unrealisable.
To Please Her, As If She Were Still Living, He Adopted Her Predilections, Her Ideas; He Bought Patent Leather Boots And Took To Wearing White Cravats. He Put Cosmetics On His Moustache, And, Like Her, Signed Notes Of Hand. She Corrupted Him From Beyond The Grave.
