More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
Honore de Balzac
Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can convert it into fact.
Honore de Balzac
Liberty begets anarchy, anarchy leads to despotism, and despotism brings about liberty once again. Millions of human beings have perished without being able to make any of these systems triumph.
Honore de Balzac
Coffee falls into the stomach... ideas begin to move, things remembered arrive at full gallop... the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similes arise, the paper is covered with ink...
Honore de Balzac
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
To man, faith to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two?
Honore de Balzac
Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.
Honore de Balzac
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
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
Neither the passions not justice nor politics nor the great social forces ever consider the victims they strike.
Honore de Balzac
For the person who loves God, worship is the daily bread of patience.
Honore de Balzac
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a most charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as she does her gloves.
Honore de Balzac
Poetry is only born after painful journeys into the vast regions of thought.
Honore de Balzac
Women, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.
Honore de Balzac
No society is complete without some victim, a creature to pity, to jeer at, to scorn or to protect.
Honore de Balzac
