More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
L'amour n'est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling it is also an art.
Honore de Balzac
Vulgar souls look hastily and superficially at the sea and accuse it of monotony other more privileged beings could spend a lifetime admiring it and discovering new and changing phenomena that delight them. So it is with love.
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
A deist is an atheist with an eye cocked for the off-chance of some advantage.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
The Police and the Society of Jesus posses in common the virtue of never forsaking their enemies as friends.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage is a fight to the death. Before contracting it, the two parties concerned implore the benediction of Heaven because to promise to love each other forever is the rashest of enterprises.
Honore de Balzac
When passion is not fed, it changes to need. At this juncture, marriage becomes a fixed idea in the mind of the bourgeois, being the only means whereby he can win a woman and appropriate her to his uses.
Honore de Balzac
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
Honore de Balzac
I am not deep, but I am very wide.
Honore de Balzac
