Ah! What pleasure it must be to a woman to suffer for the one she loves!
Honore de Balzac
Life is simply what out feelings do to us.
Honore de Balzac
Nos beaux sentiments ne sont-ils pas les poe sies de la volonte ? Aren't our best feelings poetry of the will?
Honore de Balzac
A woman questions the man who loves exactly as a judge questions a criminal. This being so, a flash of the eye, a mere word, an inflection of the voice or a moment's hesitation suffice to expose the fact, betrayal or crime he is attempting to conceal.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
One admirable trait in women is their lack of illusions about themselves. They never reason about their most blameworthy actions their feelings carry them away. Even their dissimulation comes naturally to them, and in them crime is free of all baseness. Most of the time they simply do not know how it happened.
Honore de Balzac
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
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
One can imagine the look the two lovers exchanged it was like a flame, for virtuous lovers have not a shred of hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him.
Honore de Balzac
For a sick man the world begins at his pillow and ends at the foot of his bed.
Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac
