More quotes by Honore de Balzac
When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
Honore de Balzac
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself, will always be the text of the life of woman.
Honore de Balzac
It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion it is a joy of every moment.

Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Suicide, moreover, was at the time in vogue in Paris: what more suitable key to the mystery of life for a skeptical society?
Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
Honore de Balzac
We do not attach ourselves lastingly to anything that has not cost us care, labor or longing.
Honore de Balzac
Even beauty cannot always palliate eccentricity.
Honore de Balzac
Time is the only capital of those who just have their inteligence as fortune.
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
There is something great and terrible about suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Gentleness in the gait is what simplicity is in the dress. Violent gestures or quick movements inspire involuntary disrespect.
Honore de Balzac
