Gustave Flaubert
“Ascend skyward forever and forever,–yet thou wilt not attain the summit. Descend below the earth for billions of billions of centuries: never wilt thou reach the bottom. For there is no summit, there is no bottom; there is no Above, no Below – there is no end.”
Gustave Flaubert, The Temptation of St. Antony

Gustave Flaubert
“Thou, thou hast no pity save for thine own misery. It is like a remorse that gnaws thee, a savage madness that impels thee to repel the caress of a dog or to frown upon the smile of a child.”
Gustave Flaubert, The Temptation of St. Antony

Gustave Flaubert
“Thy chastity is but a more subtle form of corruption, and thy contempt of this world is but the impotence of thy hatred against it.”
Gustave Flaubert, The Temptation of St. Antony

Gustave Flaubert
“Shake the vermin from thy rags! Rise up from thy filth! Thy god is not a moloch who demands human flesh in sacrifice!”
Gustave Flaubert, The Temptation of St. Antony

Gustave Flaubert
“Inasmuch as existence originates from corruption, corruption from desire, desire from sensation, sensation from contact, I have ever avoided all action, all contact, and perpetually – motionless as the stela of a tomb, exhaling my breath from my two nostrils, fixing my eyes upon my nose, and contemplating the ether in my mind, the world in my members, the moon in my heart – I dreamed of the essence of the great Soul whence continually escape the principles of life, even as sparks escape from fire.
Thus at last I found the supreme Soul in all beings, and all beings in the supreme Soul; and I have been able to make enter in to it mine own soul in which I have enclosed all my senses.”
Gustave Flaubert, The Temptation of St. Antony
