More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The best painters, as they progress in reputation and towards perfection, are found to dispense more and more with the technique of the art, for simpler methods. Simplicity never fails to charm.
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
He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
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
A mother who is really a mother is never free.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself, will always be the text of the life of woman.
Honore de Balzac
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
How sternly we reproach virtue for its failings, how indulgent we are to the better qualities of vice!
Honore de Balzac
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
It is not hope but despair that gives us the measure of our ambitions. We may yield secretly to beautiful poems of hope but grief looms start and stripped of all veils.
Honore de Balzac
With every one, the expectation of a misfortune constitutes a dreadful, punishment. Suffering then assumes the proportions of the unknown, which is the soul's infinite.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.
Honore de Balzac
The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed.
Honore de Balzac
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
Honore de Balzac
A letter is a soul, so faithful an echo of the speaking voice that to the sensitive it is among the richest treasures of love.
Honore de Balzac
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
