Gustave Flaubert Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: December 12, 1821 - May 8, 1880
Birthday: December 12
Death: May 8
I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.
