More quotes by Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
A lui la foi, a' elle le doute, a' elle le fardeau le plus lourd: la femme ne souffre-t-elle pas toujours pour deux? For him, faith for her, doubt and for her theheavier load: does not the woman always suffer for both?
Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
