More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist.
Honore de Balzac
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
Honore de Balzac
Passions are no more forgiving than human laws and they reason more justly. Are they not based on a conscience of their own, infallible as an instinct?
Honore de Balzac
The events of human life, whether public or private, are so intimately linked to architecture that most observers can reconstruct nations or individuals in all the truth of their habits from the remains of their monuments or from their domestic relics.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
Women are happy to possess a man whom all women covet.
Honore de Balzac
The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honore de Balzac
A man may and ought to pride himself more on his will than on his talent.
Honore de Balzac
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
Honore de Balzac
Passion is born deaf and dumb.
Honore de Balzac
Nowhere but in France are people so strictly observant of great matters and so disdainfully indulgent about small ones.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
An unfulfilled vocation drains the color from a man's entire existence.
Honore de Balzac
L'amour n'est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling it is also an art.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
In Paris every man must have had a love affair. What woman wants something that no other woman ever wanted.
Honore de Balzac
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
I am not deep, but I am very wide.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.
Honore de Balzac
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Honore de Balzac
