“ He had the vanity to believe men did not like him – while men simply did not know him. ”
It’s hard to communicate anything exactly and that’s why perfect relationships between people are difficult to find.
~ Gustave Flaubert
Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.
Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work.
One can be the master of what one does, but never of what one feels.
