More quotes by Honore de Balzac
It is very difficult to pass from pleasure to work. Accordingly more poems have been swallowed up by sorrow than ever happiness caused to blaze forth in unparalleled radiance.
Honore de Balzac
To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought.
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac
A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second with a husband it runs the other way.
Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
During the great storms of our lives we imitate those captains who jettison their weightiest cargo.
Honore de Balzac
The pleasures of love proceed successively from a distich to a quatrain, from a quatrain to a sonnet, from a sonnet to a ballad, from a ballad to an ode, from an ode to a cantata, and from a cantata to a dithyramb. A husband who begins with the dithyramb is a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
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
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
Nature knows nothing but solid bodies your science deals only with combinations of surfaces. And so nature constantly gives the lie to all your laws can you name one to which no fact makes an exception?
Honore de Balzac
Unintelligent persons are like weeds that thrive in good ground they love to be amused in proportion to the degree in which they weary themselves.
Honore de Balzac
Vulgar souls look hastily and superficially at the sea and accuse it of monotony other more privileged beings could spend a lifetime admiring it and discovering new and changing phenomena that delight them. So it is with love.
Honore de Balzac
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
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
