More quotes by Honore de Balzac
People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
Honore de Balzac
Suicide, moreover, was at the time in vogue in Paris: what more suitable key to the mystery of life for a skeptical society?
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.
Honore de Balzac
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore de Balzac
It's catastrophies which turn wise and strong people into philosophers.
Honore de Balzac
We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
Honore de Balzac
Most women wish to feel that their spirit has been violated. Do they not, indeed, flatter themselves on never yielding save to force?
Honore de Balzac
Conscience is a cudgel which all men pick up in order to thwack their neighbors instead of applying it to their own shoulders.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
Thanks to the toleration preached by the encyclopedists of the eighteenth century, the sorcerer is exempt from torture.
Honore de Balzac
Passions are no more forgiving than human laws and they reason more justly. Are they not based on a conscience of their own, infallible as an instinct?
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
A husband and wife who are in the habit of occupying separate rooms are either beings apart, or they have found happiness. Either they hate or they adore each other.
Honore de Balzac
Now literary success can only be won in solitude by persevering labor.
Honore de Balzac
A mother who is really a mother is never free.
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
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
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
