And I’m back to posting quotes.1
“Another thirst had come upon him: the thirst for women, for luxury, for everything that life in Paris implies.”2
— Flaubert, L’Éducation sentimentale.3

- Honestly, I’ll soon go back to posting insane paragraphs of incoherent sentences made up by made-up words again. [↩]
- Hell, I should’ve quoted the entire chapter. One of the best. (It’s Part Two, Chapter One, by the way.) The French: “Une autre soif lui était venue, celle des femmes, du luxe et de tout ce que comporte l’existence parisienne.” [↩]
