Effortless Precision – The 11oz Ceramic Mug Inspired by Gustave Flaubert
This premium ceramic mug features a paraphrased quote that captures the essence of Gustave Flaubert’s meticulous approach to writing. The original quote reads: “One must always work at a sentence until it has the sound of truth and the appearance of ease, though it be made up of nothing but labors.” In a letter to his confidante and lover, Louise Colet, on January 16, 1852, Flaubert described his relentless pursuit of le mot juste – the “right word” – and his belief that true art should appear effortless, even when it is the result of painstaking work.
