Saint Valentine's Day


"Love, she believed, should strike suddenly, with thunder claps and fulgurations-a tornado out of the heavens which hurls itself upon life, turns it upside down, snatches away volition like leaves and sweeps the whole heart off to the abyss."

-Madame Bovary

  6. A WONDERFUL quote!! I love this novel (one of my favourites from the Romantic era). Have you seen the film of Claude Chabrol, starring Isabelle Huppert.
