More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Show me the woman, however loyal, who does not seek to rouse desire.
Honore de Balzac
A Creole woman is like a child, she wants to possess everything immediately like a child, she would set fire to a house in order to fry an egg. In her languor, she thinks of nothing when passionately aroused, she thinks of any act possible or impossible.
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
What makes friendship indissolute and what doubles its charms is a feeling we find lacking in love: I mean certitude.
Honore de Balzac
It is quite right what they say: the three most beautiful sights in the world are a ship in full sail, a galloping horse, and a woman dancing.
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
Time is the only capital of those who just have their inteligence as fortune.
Honore de Balzac
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
Honore de Balzac
True love rules especially through memory.
Honore de Balzac
The fashions we call English in Paris are French in London, and vice versa. Franco-British hostility vanishes when it comes to questions of words and clothing. God save the King is a tune composed by Lully for a chorus in a play by Racine.
Honore de Balzac
In the medical profession a horse and carriage are more necessary than any scientific knowledge.
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, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.
Honore de Balzac
Few men are raised in our estimation by being too closely examined.
Honore de Balzac
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought.
Honore de Balzac
Memories beautify life, but the capacity to forget makes it bearable.
Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac
