a few perfect quotes from flaubert (03/06/22)

"Il ne faut pas toucher aux idoles: la dorure en reste aux mains."
(Never touch your idols: the gilding will stick to your fingers.)

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

"Haven't you ever happened to come across in a book some vague notion that you've had, some obscure idea that returns from afar and that seems to express completely your most subtle feelings?"
