More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
Honore de Balzac
Imagination helps the realism of every detail, and only sees the beauties of the work.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed.
Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work. I have had many periods of wretchedness, but with energy and above all with illusions, I pulled through them all.
Honore de Balzac
A monster which devours everything - that is familiarity.
Honore de Balzac
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Honore de Balzac
They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.
Honore de Balzac
Does anyone know where these gondolas of Paris come from? [Fr., Ne sait on pas ou viennent ces gondoles Parisiennes?]
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
Honore de Balzac
Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.
Honore de Balzac
When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
Honore de Balzac
Everybody all over the world takes a wife's estimate into account in forming an opinion of a man.
Honore de Balzac
What makes friendship indissolute and what doubles its charms is a feeling we find lacking in love: I mean certitude.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
A married woman is a slave you must know how to seat upon a throne.
Honore de Balzac
The election of a deputy to the Legislature offers a noble and majestic spectacle comparable only to the delivery of a child. It involves the same efforts, the same impurities, the same laceration, and the same triumph.
Honore de Balzac
In Paris every man must have had a love affair. What woman wants something that no other woman ever wanted.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue, perhaps, is nothing more than politeness of soul.
Honore de Balzac
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
Honore de Balzac
