Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
A woman questions the man who loves exactly as a judge questions a criminal. This being so, a flash of the eye, a mere word, an inflection of the voice or a moment's hesitation suffice to expose the fact, betrayal or crime he is attempting to conceal.
Honore de Balzac
Happiness lends poetic charms to woman, and dress adorns her like a delicate tinge of rouge.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
