1. My head is spinning with annoyance, discouragement, fatigue! I’ve spent four hours without being able to write one sentence. I haven’t written one line today, or rather I’ve scrawled a hundred! What atrocious work! What a bore! Oh, Art! Art!

    — Flaubert writing to Louise Colet while writing Madame Bovary.
