It is a delicious thing to write, whether well or badly — to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating.
-Gustave Flaubert

There is no truth. There is only perception.
-Gustave Flaubert

Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.

“Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work.”
― Gustave Flaubert

The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.
