Quotes about: Earth

  Gustave Flaubert

  Stupidity, Earth, Limitless

  Gustave Flaubert

  Beautiful, Book, Writing

  Gustave Flaubert, Francis Steegmuller (1980). “The Letters of Gustave Flaubert: 1830-1857”, p.154, Harvard University Press

• What I would like to write is a book about nothing, a book without exterior attachments, which would be held together by the innerforce of its style, as the earth without support is held in the air--a book that would have almost no subject or at least in which the subject would be almost invisible.
