More quotes by Honore de Balzac
A woman's greatest charm consists in a constant appeal to a man's generosity by a gracious declaration of helplessness which fills him with pride and awakens the most magnificent feelings in his heart.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant.
Honore de Balzac
Religious ecstasy is a madness of thought freed of its bodily bonds, whereas in the ecstasy of love, the forces of twin natures unite, blend and embrace one another.

Honore de Balzac
No husband will ever be better avenged than by his wife's lover.
Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
Honore de Balzac
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
Honore de Balzac
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
No woman dares to refuse love without a motive, for nothing is more natural than to yield to love.
Honore de Balzac
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist.
Honore de Balzac
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.
Honore de Balzac
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
How did you get back?' asked Vautrin. 'I walked,' replied Eugene. 'I wouldn't like half-pleasures, myself,' observed the tempter. 'I'd want to go there in my own carriage, have my own box, and come back in comfort. All or nothing, that's my motto.' 'And a very good one,' said Madame Vauquer.
Honore de Balzac
Small natures require despotism to exercise their sinews, as great souls thirst for equality to give play to their heart.
Honore de Balzac
Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.
Honore de Balzac
A woman, even a prude, is not long at a loss, however dire her plight. She would seen always to have in hand the fig leaf our Mother Eve bequeathed to her.
Honore de Balzac
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac
