More quotes by 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
Death unites as well as separates it silences all paltry feeling.
Honore de Balzac
If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization would be impossible.
Honore de Balzac
Among even the happiest married couples there are always moments of regret.
Honore de Balzac
Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.
Honore de Balzac
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
When will conventional good manners become attractive? When will ladies of fashion exhibit their shoulders a little less and their affability and wit a little more?
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
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage is a fight to the death, before which the wedded couple ask a blessing from heaven, because it is the rashest of all undertakings to swear eternal love the fight at once commences and victory, that is to say liberty, remains in the hands of the cleverer of the two.
Honore de Balzac
Self-interest is an ineffable feeling which shall follow us into God's very presence since they say there is a hierarchy even among the Holy Saints.
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
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
When women love, they forgive everything...
Honore de Balzac
The virtues we acquire, which develop slowly within us, are the invisible links that bind each one of our existences to the others - existences which the spirit alone remembers, for Matter has no memory for spiritual things.
Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
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
But woman brings disorder into society through passion.
Honore de Balzac
There is a cure for temptation. What? Yielding to it.
Honore de Balzac
L'amour n'est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling it is also an art.
Honore de Balzac
