More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Modern society includes three types of men who can never think very highly of the world--the priest, the physician, and the attorney-at-law. They all wear black, too, for are they not in mourning for every virtue and every illusion?
Honore de Balzac
True love is mixed up with birdlike squabbles, in which the disputants wound each other to the quick but a quarrel without animus is, on the contrary, apiece of flattery to the dupe's conceit.
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
But woman brings disorder into society through passion.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
A naked woman is less dangerous than one who spreads her skirt skillfully to cover and exhibit everything at once.
Honore de Balzac
Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.
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
Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant.
Honore de Balzac
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
Honore de Balzac
He who best knows the world will love it least.
Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
God is the author, men are only the players. These grand pieces which are played upon earth have been composed in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
Death unites as well as separates it silences all paltry feeling.
Honore de Balzac
To forget is the great secret of strong creative natures to forget is the way nature herself who knows no past and who at every hour begins the mysteries of her untiring labors afresh.
Honore de Balzac
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Honore de Balzac
No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.
Honore de Balzac
If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization would be impossible.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
