Honore de Balzac
For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
Honore de Balzac
Loyalty in time of need is possibly one of the noblest of victories a courtier can win over himself.
Honore de Balzac
When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
Honore de Balzac
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.
