More quotes by Honore de Balzac
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
Honore de Balzac
Carelessness in dressing is moral suicide.
Honore de Balzac
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
The Police and the Society of Jesus posses in common the virtue of never forsaking their enemies as friends.
Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac
One of the most detestable habits of Lilliputian minds is to find their own littleness in others.
Honore de Balzac
A husband can commit no greater blunder than to discuss his wife, if she is virtuous, with his mistress unless it be to mention his mistress, if she is beautiful, to his wife.
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
By dint of making sacrifices, a man grows interested in the person who exacts them. Great ladies, like courtesans, know this truth by instinct.
Honore de Balzac
There are words which cut like steel.
Honore de Balzac
With every one, the expectation of a misfortune constitutes a dreadful, punishment. Suffering then assumes the proportions of the unknown, which is the soul's infinite.
Honore de Balzac
How did you get back?' asked Vautrin. 'I walked,' replied Eugene. 'I wouldn't like half-pleasures, myself,' observed the tempter. 'I'd want to go there in my own carriage, have my own box, and come back in comfort. All or nothing, that's my motto.' 'And a very good one,' said Madame Vauquer.
Honore de Balzac
Art's greatest efforts are invariably a timid counterfeit of Nature.
Honore de Balzac
A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage is an institution necessary to the maintenance of society but contrary to the laws of nature.
Honore de Balzac
Woman has this in common with angels, that suffering beings belong especially to her.
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
Small natures require despotism to exercise their sinews, as great souls thirst for equality to give play to their heart.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
France is a country that loves to change their government if it is always the same.
Honore de Balzac
