Gustave Flaubert Quote

[...] e essa ideia de ter um filho homem era como a revanche de todas as suas impotências passadas. Um homem ao menos é livre; pode percorrer as paixões e os países, atravessar os obstáculos, ir atrás das alegrias mais distintas. Ao mesmo tempo inerte e flexível, a mulher tem a seu desfavor as fraquezas da carne e as dependências da lei. Sua vontade, como o véu do chapéu retido por uma fita, palpita ao sabor de todos os ventos; sempre há algum desejo que arrasta, alguma conveniência que retém.

About Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert (UK: FLOH-bair, US: floh-BAIR, French: [ɡystav flobɛʁ]; 12 December 1821 – 8 May 1880) was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.
