French novelist. 1821 - 1880
Quoted twice in The Real Frank Zappa Book:
Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.
One becomes a critic when one cannot be an artist, just as a man becomes a stool pigeon when he cannot be a soldier.
Gustave Flaubert (letter to Madame Louise Colet, August 12, 1846)
