Honore de Balzac
In France we can cauterize wounds but we do not yet know any remedy for the injuries inflicted by a bon mot.
Honore de Balzac
How sternly we reproach virtue for its failings, how indulgent we are to the better qualities of vice!
Honore de Balzac
Nature knows nothing but solid bodies your science deals only with combinations of surfaces. And so nature constantly gives the lie to all your laws can you name one to which no fact makes an exception?
Honore de Balzac
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself, will always be the text of the life of 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
One of the glories of society is to have created woman where Nature had made only a female to have created a continuity of desire where Nature thought only of perpetuating the species and, in fine, to have invented love.
Honore de Balzac
A wife is property that one acquires by contract, she is transferable, because possession of her requires title in fact, woman is, so to speak, only man's appendage consequently, slice, cut, clip her, you have all rights to her.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Creole women take after Europe in their intelligence, after the Tropics in the illogical violence of their passions, and after the Indies in the apathetic indolence with which they commit or suffer good and evil.
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
