Honore de Balzac
Image
Talent is a flame, but genius is a fire.

Honore de Balzac
Image
Rich women need not fear old age their gold can always create about them any feelings necessary to their happiness.
Honore de Balzac

Love, according to our contemporary poets, is a privilege which two beings confer upon one another, whereby they may mutually cause one another much sorrow over absolutely nothing.
Honore de Balzac
Image
All human beings go through a previous life... Who knows how many fleshly forms the heir of heaven occupies before he can be brought to understand the value of that silence and solitude of spiritual worlds?
Honore de Balzac
Image
Are not poets men who fulfill their hopes prematurely?
Honore de Balzac
Image
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.

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.
