More quotes by Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue in women is perhaps a question of temperament.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
Honore de Balzac
Le mariage doit incessamment combattre un monstre qui de v ore tout: l'habitude. Marriage should always combat the monster that devours everything: habit.
Honore de Balzac
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.
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
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
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
Rich women need not fear old age their gold can always create about them any feelings necessary to their happiness.
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
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
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
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
A letter is a soul, so faithful an echo of the speaking voice that to the sensitive it is among the richest treasures of love.
Honore de Balzac
Old maids claw as cats do. They not only inflict wounds but experience pleasure in doing so. Nor will they fail to remind their victims of the blood drawn.
Honore de Balzac
The Police and the Society of Jesus posses in common the virtue of never forsaking their enemies as friends.
Honore de Balzac
How natural it is to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we do not understand, and to insult what we envy!
Honore de Balzac
