More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Love is perhaps no more than gratitude for pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
The greatest tyranny is to love I where we are not loved again.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.

Honore de Balzac
Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.
Honore de Balzac
Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.
Honore de Balzac
When a woman starts talking about her duty, her regard for appearances, and her respect for religion, she raises so many bulwarks which she delights to see captured by storm.
Honore de Balzac
By dint of making sacrifices, a man grows interested in the person who exacts them. Great ladies, like courtesans, know this truth by instinct.
Honore de Balzac
Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
As a rule, only the poor are generous.
Honore de Balzac
Your women of fashion ceases to be a woman. She is neither mother, nor wife, nor lover. She is, medically speaking, sex on the brain.
Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
It is quite right what they say: the three most beautiful sights in the world are a ship in full sail, a galloping horse, and a woman dancing.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a most charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as she does her gloves.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
