Quote by Gustave Flaubert

The author should be in his work like God is in the universe--present everywhere and visible nowhere.L'auteur dans son oeuvre doit etre comme Dieu dans l'univers, present partout et visible nulle part.

The author should be in his work like God is in the universe

Summary

This quote suggests that a writer should immerse themselves completely in their work, just like God is omnipresent in the universe. The author should be fully present in every aspect of their writing, yet remain invisible to the readers. It emphasizes the idea that the writer's presence should be felt in the work through their intricate design and powerful storytelling, but should not distract or overshadow the content itself. This quote highlights the importance of creating a seamless narrative that captures the reader's attention without drawing attention to the author.
