Flaubert

I prefer exuberance to taste, the desert to a pavement, and a savage to a hairdresser. Sentimental Education, p. 46


The above is yielded in the throes of irony, Flaubert appears unwilling to eschew all cafe chatter, the slashing temper of that particular piece delivered a welcome smile.

...another thing to make you smile - while at the Chiropractor this afternoon, another patient remarked to the Bronze Medal winner whom is our doctor, "have they run the bobsleds in the Olympics yet?"

One word, wow. The look on the doctor's face was priceless.
