More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.
Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
Nature knows nothing but solid bodies your science deals only with combinations of surfaces. And so nature constantly gives the lie to all your laws can you name one to which no fact makes an exception?
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
Some troubles, like a protested note of a solvent debtor, bear interest.
Honore de Balzac
Can you find a man who loves the occupation that provides him with a livelihood? Professions are like marriages we end by feeling only their inconveniences.
Honore de Balzac
The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority.
Honore de Balzac
The fashions we call English in Paris are French in London, and vice versa. Franco-British hostility vanishes when it comes to questions of words and clothing. God save the King is a tune composed by Lully for a chorus in a play by Racine.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
True love is mixed up with birdlike squabbles, in which the disputants wound each other to the quick but a quarrel without animus is, on the contrary, apiece of flattery to the dupe's conceit.
Honore de Balzac
Death unites as well as separates it silences all paltry feeling.
Honore de Balzac
Time is the only capital of those who just have their inteligence as fortune.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
There are words which cut like steel.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
Honore de Balzac
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.
Honore de Balzac
Let passion reach a catastrophe and it submits us to an intoxicating force far more powerful than the niggardly irritation of wine or of opium. The lucidity our ideas then achieve, and the delicacy of our overly exalted sensations, produce the strangest and most unexpected effects.
Honore de Balzac
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
Honore de Balzac
