Madame Bovary

"She longed for passionate love like that found in the novels she read."

"Her imagination was her escape from the monotony of provincial life."

"She dreamed of everything except the reality she lived."

"What made her unhappy was the lack of passion in her life."

"She had read of love in novels, but love itself was unknown to her."

"She was a woman of the world, yet she had never known the world."
