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
Image
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
Image
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Image
A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.
Honore de Balzac
Image
How fondly swindlers coddle their dupes! No mother is as caressing or thoughtful towards her adored child as a merchant in hypocrisy toward his milch-cow.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Man's condition is horrible because, no matter what form his happiness may take, it arises from some species of ignorance.
Honore de Balzac
Image
If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization would be impossible.
