Honore de Balzac
Vice is perhaps a desire to learn everything.
Honore de Balzac
No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Life cannot go on without much forgetting.
Honore de Balzac
Intuition, like the rays of the sun, acts only in an inflexibly straight line it can guess right only on condition of never diverting its gaze the freaks of chance disturb it.
Honore de Balzac
Isn't it really quite extraordinary to see that, since man took his first step, no one has asked himself why he walks, how he walks, if he has ever walked, if he could walk better, what he achieves in walking .. questions that are tied to all the philosophical, psychological, and political systems which preoccupy the world.
Honore de Balzac
Even beauty cannot always palliate eccentricity.
Honore de Balzac
