Dave’s Quotes

“All of us yearn for the highest wisdom, but we have to rely on ourselves in the end.”

“So he gave up his flute, exalted sentiments, and poetry; for every bourgeois in the flush of his youth, were it but for a day, a moment, has believed himself capable of immense passions, of lofty enterprises. The most mediocre libertine has dreamed of sultanas; every notary bears within him the debris of a poet.”
― Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
