More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects.
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
When passion is not fed, it changes to need. At this juncture, marriage becomes a fixed idea in the mind of the bourgeois, being the only means whereby he can win a woman and appropriate her to his uses.
Honore de Balzac
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
Virtually all men of action incline to Fatality just as most thinkers incline to Providence.
Honore de Balzac
Paris, like every pretty woman, is subject to inexplicable whims of beauty and ugliness.
Honore de Balzac
The great secret of social alchemy is to profit best from each stage in our lives, to gather all its leaves in spring, all its flowers in summer, and all its fruits in autumn.
Honore de Balzac
One of the glories of society is to have created woman where Nature had made only a female to have created a continuity of desire where Nature thought only of perpetuating the species and, in fine, to have invented love.
Honore de Balzac
Incurable wounds are those inflicted by tongue and eye, by mockery and disdain.
Honore de Balzac
Thought is a key to all treasures the miser's gains are ours without his cares. Thus I have soared above this world, where my enjoyments have been intellectual joys.
Honore de Balzac
Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.
Honore de Balzac
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
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
The weakest being on earth can accomplish feats of strength. The frailest urchin will ring every doorbell on the street in arctic weather or hoist himself aloft to inscribe his name on a virgin monument.
Honore de Balzac
In France everything is a matter for jest. People make quips about the scaffold, about Napoleon's defeat on the banks of The Beresina, and about the barricades of our revolutions. So, at the assizes of the Last Judgment, there will always be a Frenchmen to crack a joke.
Honore de Balzac
A sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing but vexations to the other.
Honore de Balzac
To man, faith to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two?
Honore de Balzac
Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
