Gustave Flaubert: Quote for May 31, 2009

Men may dislike truth, men may find truth offensive and inconvenient, men may persecute the truth, subvert it, try by law to suppress it. But to maintain that men have the final power over truth is blasphemy, and the last delusion. Truth lives forever, men do not.
from: Madame Bovary (1949)
James Mason acted as Gustave Flaubert
