Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life.

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.
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
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
Today nobility is gone: there is only a peerage.
Honore de Balzac
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
