Quote by Gustave Flaubert

“– Assim, nós – dizia ele –, por que nós nos conhecemos? Que acaso o quis? É que através da distância, sem dúvida como dois rios que correm para se unirem, as nossas inclinações particulares nos tinam levado um para o outro E ele tomou sua mão; e ela não a retirou. "Conjunto de boas culturas" – gritou o presidente. – Assim, por exemplo, quando eu fui à sua casa... "Ao Sr. Bizet, de Quincampoix." – Eu sabia que a acompanharia? "Setenta francos!" – Até mesmo cem vezes eu quis partir, e eu a segui, e fiquei. "Estrumes!" – Como eu ficaria esta noite, amanhã, os outros dias, toda a minha vida! "Ao Sr. Caron, d'Argueil, uma medalha de ouro!" – Pois nunca encontrei na companhia de alguém um encantamento tão completo. "Ao Sr. Bain, de Givry-Saint-Martin!" – Assim, eu, vou levar a sua lembrança. "Por um carneiro merino..." – Mas você vai me esquecer, eu vou ter passado como uma sombra. "Ao Sr. Belot, de Notre-Dame..." – Oh! Não, não é, eu serei alguma coisa em seu pensamento, em sua vida?”
