Spiritul acesta, pozitiv în mijlocul exaltărilor sale, care iubise biserica pentru florile ei, muzica pentru cuvintele romanţelor, literatura pentru aţâţările ei pasionale, se răzvrătea în faţa misterelor credinţei, după cum se îndârjea şi mai aprig împotriva disciplinei de nesuportat pentru firea ei.
Gustave Flaubert[T]he truth is that fullness of soul can sometimes overflow in utter vapidity of language, for none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his thoughts or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.

So far as Emma was concerned she did not ask herself whether she was in love. Love, she thought, was something that must come suddenly, with a great display of thunder and lightning, descending on one's life like a tempest from above, turning it topsy-turvy, whirling away one's resolutions like leaves and bearing one onward, heart and soul, towards the abyss.

Gustave FlaubertNever had he beheld such a magnificent brown skin, so entrancing a figure, such dainty, transparent fingers. He stood gazing in wonder at her work-basket as if it was something extraordinary. What was her name? Where did she live and what sort of life did she lead? What was her past?
