More quotes by Honore de Balzac
True love rules especially through memory.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
Passion is born deaf and dumb.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
No man has ever yet discovered the way to give friendly advice to any woman, not even to his own wife.
Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac
It is very difficult to pass from pleasure to work. Accordingly more poems have been swallowed up by sorrow than ever happiness caused to blaze forth in unparalleled radiance.
Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them.
Honore de Balzac
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
Give to a wounded heart seclusion consolation nor reason ever effected anything in such a case.
Honore de Balzac
It is no sin to be tempted the wickedness lies in being overcome.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
Honore de Balzac
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
Honore de Balzac
One admirable trait in women is their lack of illusions about themselves. They never reason about their most blameworthy actions their feelings carry them away. Even their dissimulation comes naturally to them, and in them crime is free of all baseness. Most of the time they simply do not know how it happened.
Honore de Balzac
