More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Rich men are resolved to be astonished at nothing. When they see a masterpiece, they must needs at one glance recognize some flaw to dispense them from admiration, a vulgar emotion.
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
For businessmen, the world is a bale of banknotes in circulation for most young men, it is a woman for some women, it is a man and for others it may be a salon, a coterie, a part of town or a whole city.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Few men are raised in our estimation by being too closely examined.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
Hope is a memory that desires, the memory is a memory that has enjoyed.
Honore de Balzac
Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.
Honore de Balzac
Does anyone know where these gondolas of Paris come from? [Fr., Ne sait on pas ou viennent ces gondoles Parisiennes?]
Honore de Balzac
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
Possibly the words materialism and spirituality express two sides of one and the same fact.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.
Honore de Balzac
