More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
With every one, the expectation of a misfortune constitutes a dreadful, punishment. Suffering then assumes the proportions of the unknown, which is the soul's infinite.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue, perhaps, is nothing more than politeness of soul.
Honore de Balzac
Everybody all over the world takes a wife's estimate into account in forming an opinion of a man.
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
Tradesmen regard an author with a mixed feeling of terror, compassion and curiosity.
Honore de Balzac
A man may and ought to pride himself more on his will than on his talent.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage is an institution necessary to the maintenance of society but contrary to the laws of nature.
Honore de Balzac
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.
Honore de Balzac
Time is the only capital of those who just have their inteligence as fortune.
Honore de Balzac
In France we can cauterize wounds but we do not yet know any remedy for the injuries inflicted by a bon mot.
Honore de Balzac
When chaste people need body or mind to resort to action or thought, they find steel in their muscles or knowledge in their intelligence. Theirs the diabolic vigor or the black magic of will power.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
