“I'd like to be in love like this description, wouldn't you?

Never had she possessed more sweetness, more leniency. Secure in the thought that she would not err, she abandoned herself to a sentiment which seemed to her justified by her sorrows. And, moreover, it was so innocent and fresh! What an abyss lay between the coarseness of Arnoux and the adoration of Frederick!”
― Gustave Flaubert, Sentimental Education

“Years passed; and he endured the idleness of his intelligence and the inertia of his heart.”
― Gustave Flaubert, Sentimental Education
