A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
The prodigality of millionaires is comparable only to their greed of gain. Let some whim or passion seize them and money is of no account. In fact these Croesuses find whims and passions harder to come by than gold.
Honore de Balzac
A Creole woman is like a child, she wants to possess everything immediately like a child, she would set fire to a house in order to fry an egg. In her languor, she thinks of nothing when passionately aroused, she thinks of any act possible or impossible.
Honore de Balzac
