Honore de Balzac
A man is a poor creature compared to a woman.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
When passion is not fed, it changes to need. At this juncture, marriage becomes a fixed idea in the mind of the bourgeois, being the only means whereby he can win a woman and appropriate her to his uses.
Honore de Balzac
Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance
Honore de Balzac
Are not poets men who fulfill their hopes prematurely?
Honore de Balzac
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Honore de Balzac
To forget is the great secret of strong creative natures to forget is the way nature herself who knows no past and who at every hour begins the mysteries of her untiring labors afresh.
Honore de Balzac
When an intelligent man reaches the point of inviting self-explanation and offers surrendering the key to his heart, he is assuredly riding a drunken horse.
Honore de Balzac
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
Honore de Balzac
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
