J: So what is the best ending in all of literature? Don't say Ulysses. Everyone says Ulysses.
P. W: That's easy. Sentimental education by Flaubert.
J: And what happens?
P.W: Nothing, really. Just two old friends sitting around remembering the best thing that never happened to them.
J: How do you remember something that never happened?
P.W: Fondly. You see, Flaubert believed that anticipation was the purest form
of pleasure... and the most reliable. And that while the things that
actually happen to you would invariable disappoint, the things that
never happened to you would never dim. Never fade. They would always be
engraved in your heart with a sort of sweet sadness.
Profundo? Cobarde.
