—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone’s concern and like vampires they suck our life’s blood.”

“I can’t imagine going on when there are no more expectations.”
