More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
Love passes quickly, and passes like a street Arab, anxious to mark his way with mischief.
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
Many men are deeply moved by the mere semblance of suffering in a woman they take the look of pain for a sign of constancy or of love.
Honore de Balzac
When tempted to be unfaithful, the intellectual woman will try to inspire her husband with indifference, the sentimental woman with hatred, and the passionate woman with disgust.
Honore de Balzac
Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue is always too much of a piece and too ignorant of those shades of feeling and of temperament that enable us to squint when we are placed in a false position.
Honore de Balzac
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
Poetry is only born after painful journeys into the vast regions of thought.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
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
