Honore de Balzac
Inspiration is the opportunity of genius.
Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac
Men are such dupes by choice, that he who would impose upon others never need be at a loss to find ready victims.
Honore de Balzac
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Honore de Balzac
Paris, like every pretty woman, is subject to inexplicable whims of beauty and ugliness.
Honore de Balzac
