All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
With a woman, always make good use of a secret. She will be proportionally grateful to you, like a scoundrel who grants his respect to an honest man he has been unable to swindle.
Honore de Balzac
Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.
Honore de Balzac
A man is a poor creature compared to a woman.
