“The world we live in pictures a pie with only so many pieces, and if other people have more you have less, and you have to compete with other people in order to try to get ahead. You have to sell yourself at every available opportunity.

“I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.” IdeasUseDreamPlansDepressionAmbitionProjectsEternalNo IdeaRealmsBarriersHypothesisAvenuesBronzeEvery Avenue Book:The Letters of Gustave Flaubert: 1830-1857 Source: The Letters of Gustave Flaubert: 1830-1857
“Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life.
