Autobiography and Biography:

Self and Other

Homo. Say “Ecce homo!” on the arrival of any person one is expecting. Idiot. Those who differ with you.

Idolaters. Are cannibals too.

Flaubert, Dictionary of Received Ideas

A writer is always a man who has more or less chosen the imaginary: he needs a certain dosage of fiction. For my part, I find it in my work on Flaubert, which one can, moreover, consider a novel. I even wish people to say that it is a true novel.

Sartre, Interview of 1970, Situations IX

As if there could possibly be true stories . . .

Sartre, Nausea

All this was like being in a balloon at night, in glacial coldness, carried on an endless voyage toward a bottomless abyss, and with nothing near but the unseizable, the motionless, the eternal. It was too much. They gave it up.

Flaubert, Bouvard and Pécuchet

In this dark night, one has the impression of walking, one tries to remember a road that, in fact, has never existed and should be invented.

Sartre, L'Idiot de la famille

His true Penelope was Flaubert.

He fished by obstinate isles.

Ezra Pound, Hugh Selwyn Mauberly
