Do not imagine you can exorcise what oppresses you in life by giving vent to it in art.
Gustave FlaubertThe most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
Gustave FlaubertThe only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest.
Gustave Flaubert
