More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
Honore de Balzac
Love, according to our contemporary poets, is a privilege which two beings confer upon one another, whereby they may mutually cause one another much sorrow over absolutely nothing.
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
In a world of hunchbacks, a fine figure becomes a monstrosity.
Honore de Balzac
A girl's coquetry is of the simplest, she thinks that all is said when the veil is laid aside a woman's coquetry is endless, she shrouds herself in veil after veil, she satisfies every demand of man's vanity, the novice responds but to one.
Honore de Balzac
No frozen-hearted woman ever I laid eyes on but has made duty her religion.
Honore de Balzac
Who shall ever tell how much an unmerited disfavor crushes a shy person? Who can ever depict the misfortunes of timidity?
Honore de Balzac
What is motherhood save Nature in her most gladsome mood?
Honore de Balzac
Imagination helps the realism of every detail, and only sees the beauties of the work.
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
The pleasures of love proceed successively from a distich to a quatrain, from a quatrain to a sonnet, from a sonnet to a ballad, from a ballad to an ode, from an ode to a cantata, and from a cantata to a dithyramb. A husband who begins with the dithyramb is a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Reproach is usually honest, which is more than can be said of praise.
Honore de Balzac
A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second with a husband it runs the other way.
Honore de Balzac
He hesitated till the last moment, but finally dropped them in the box, saying, I shall win!--the cry of a gambler, the cry of the great general, the compulsive cry that has ruined more men than it has ever saved.
Honore de Balzac
By dint of making sacrifices, a man grows interested in the person who exacts them. Great ladies, like courtesans, know this truth by instinct.
Honore de Balzac
Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance
Honore de Balzac
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
Honore de Balzac
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
Honore de Balzac
