Honore de Balzac
Glory and fame mean twelve thousand francs' worth of paid articles in the newspapers and five thousand crowns' worth of dinners.
Honore de Balzac
A mother who is really a mother is never free.
Honore de Balzac
Poetry is only born after painful journeys into the vast regions of thought.
Honore de Balzac
Rich men are resolved to be astonished at nothing. When they see a masterpiece, they must needs at one glance recognize some flaw to dispense them from admiration, a vulgar emotion.
Honore de Balzac
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.
Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
