Quote by Gustave Flaubert

"The artist must be in his work like God in creation, invisible yet all-powerful."

"Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living."

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of."

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to prevent one's ear drums from bursting, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny."

"Power without control is just destruction."

"Power is not about control, it's about influence"

"The world doesn't need me to be the hero. It just needs me to be dangerous."

"The claws come out when I need them to."
