Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or flaubert:
“The bar ... is an exercise in solitude. Above all else, it must be quiet, dark, very comfortable—and, contrary to modern mores, no music of any kind, no matter how faint. In sum, there should be no more than a dozen tables, and a clientele that doesn’t like to talk.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
“I love my work with a frenetic and perverse love, as an ascetic loves the hair shirt which scratches his belly.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
