“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”

— Gustave Flaubert, Correspondance

[philosophybits]

“The one who adopts [the aesthetic attitude] claims to have no other relation with the world than that of detached contemplation; outside of time and far from men, he faces history, which he thinks he does not belong to, like a pure beholding; this impersonal version equalizes all situations; it apprehends them only in the indifference of their differences; it excludes any preference. […] Such an attitude appears in moments of discouragement and confusion; in fact, it is a position of withdrawal, a way of fleeing the truth of the present. […] The present is not a potential past; it is the moment of choice and action; we can not avoid living it through a project; and there is no project which is purely contemplative since one always projects himself toward something, toward the future; to put oneself “outside” is still a way of living the inescapable fact that one is inside…”

— Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity
