More quotes by Honore de Balzac
We must certainly acknowledge that solitude is a fine thing but it is a pleasure to have some one who can answer, and to whom we can say, from time to time, that solitude is a fine thing.
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
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
Innocence alone dares commit certain acts of audacity. Virtue, when tutored, is as calculating as vice.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
The victory always has a lot of parents but the defeat is always an orphan.
Honore de Balzac
No society is complete without some victim, a creature to pity, to jeer at, to scorn or to protect.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
Honore de Balzac
To forget is the great secret of strong creative natures to forget is the way nature herself who knows no past and who at every hour begins the mysteries of her untiring labors afresh.
Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
God is the author, men are only the players. These grand pieces which are played upon earth have been composed in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
Honore de Balzac
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
Where some one else's welfare is concerned, a young girl becomes as ingenious as a thief. Guileless where she herself is in question, and full of foresight for me,-she is like a heavenly angel forgiving the strange incomprehensible sins of earth.
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
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
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. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
No navigator has yet traced lines of latitude and longitude on the conjugal sea.
