All human beings go through a previous life... Who knows how many fleshly forms the heir of heaven occupies before he can be brought to understand the value of that silence and solitude of spiritual worlds?

More quotes by 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
It would be curious to know what leads a man to become a stationer rather than a baker, when he is no longer compelled, as among the Egyptians, to succeed to his father's craft.
Honore de Balzac
Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.
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
Vice is perhaps a desire to learn everything.
Honore de Balzac
A sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing but vexations to the other.
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
A mother who is really a mother is never free.
Honore de Balzac
Danger arouses interest. Where death is involved, the vilest criminal invariably stirs a little compassion.
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
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual. Misfortune is a stepping stone for a genius, a piscina for a Christian, a treasure for a man of parts, and an abyss for a weakling.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
Little minds find satisfaction for their feelings, good or bad, in little things.
Honore de Balzac
Love is perhaps no more than gratitude for pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
Innocence alone dares commit certain acts of audacity. Virtue, when tutored, is as calculating as vice.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
Honore de Balzac
The woman you buy takes a great deal of money. The woman who gives herself to you takes all your money.
Honore de Balzac
