Gustave Flaubert Quote

Le bourgeois (c'est-à-dire l'humanité entière maintenant, y compris le peuple) se conduit envers les classiques comme envers la religion : il sait qu'ils sont, serait fâché qu'ils ne fussent pas, comprend qu'ils ont une certaine utilité très éloignée, mais il n'en use nullement et ça l'embête beaucoup, voilà.

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.
