More quotes by Honore de Balzac
One of the most detestable habits of Lilliputian minds is to find their own littleness in others.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
Alas, two men are often necessary to provide a woman with a perfect lover, just as in literature a writer composes a type only by employing the singularities of several similar characters.
Honore de Balzac
France is a country that loves to change their government if it is always the same.
Honore de Balzac
Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.
Honore de Balzac
A monster which devours everything - that is familiarity.
Honore de Balzac
Can you find a man who loves the occupation that provides him with a livelihood? Professions are like marriages we end by feeling only their inconveniences.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac
No frozen-hearted woman ever I laid eyes on but has made duty her religion.
Honore de Balzac
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Honore de Balzac
Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table.
Honore de Balzac
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
Honore de Balzac
He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
Honore de Balzac
They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.
Honore de Balzac
Perhaps it is only human nature to inflict suffering on anything that will endure suffering, whether by reason of its genuine humility, or indifference, or sheer helplessness.
Honore de Balzac
Neither the passions not justice nor politics nor the great social forces ever consider the victims they strike.
Honore de Balzac
