More quotes by Honore de Balzac
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.
Honore de Balzac
Emulation is not rivalry. Emulation is the child of ambition rivalry is the unlovable daughter of envy.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is as heady as the wine of misfortune.
Honore de Balzac
Do you know how a man makes his way here? By brilliant genius or by skilful corruption. You must either cut your way through these masses of men like a cannon ball, or steal among them like a plague.
Honore de Balzac
A married woman is a slave you must know how to seat upon a throne.
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
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
The woman you buy takes a great deal of money. The woman who gives herself to you takes all your money.
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
Mud, raised by hurricanes, wells up in the noblest and purest of hearts.
Honore de Balzac
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
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
Like most young people, these two attributed to the world their own intelligence and virtues. Youth who knows no failure has no mercy on the faults of other people but it has also a sublime faith in them.
Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
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
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
Small natures require despotism to exercise their sinews, as great souls thirst for equality to give play to their heart.
Honore de Balzac
All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
