More quotes by Honore de Balzac
A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Honore de Balzac
Prostitution and robbery are two living protests, respectively female and male, made by the natural state against the social state.
Honore de Balzac
Coffee falls into the stomach... ideas begin to move, things remembered arrive at full gallop... the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similes arise, the paper is covered with ink...
Honore de Balzac
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
What moralist can deny that well-bred and vicious people are much more agreeable than their virtuous counterparts? Having crimes to atone for, they provisionally solicit indulgence by showing leniency toward the defects of their judges. Thus they pass for excellent folk.
Honore de Balzac
In intimate family life, there comes a moment when children, willingly or no, become the judges of their parents.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
No frozen-hearted woman ever I laid eyes on but has made duty her religion.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual. Misfortune is a stepping stone for a genius, a piscina for a Christian, a treasure for a man of parts, and an abyss for a weakling.
Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
Honore de Balzac
A deist is an atheist with an eye cocked for the off-chance of some advantage.
Honore de Balzac
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
It would be curious to know what leads a man to become a stationer rather than a baker, when he is no longer compelled, as among the Egyptians, to succeed to his father's craft.
Honore de Balzac
Passion is born deaf and dumb.
Honore de Balzac
There are moments in life when all we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us our wounds would wince at the touch of consoling words, that would reveal the depths of our pain.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
