So, do some of you happen to know, did Gustave Flaubert really say
or anything like that, as the Croatian Latin textbook Hereditas Linguae Latinae claims? If so, where?
If he did not say that, do you know where that quote actually originates?
Posted it on another forum. It seems like Flaubert didn’t say anything like that.
I’ve asked another question, apparently a better one, about New Latin literature.
Flaubert probably never said it, at least not in Latin, and it’s rather inept Latin, to be sure, but it could be an appropriate caption for Madame Bovary.
