Honore de Balzac
The love of nature is the only love that does not deceive human hopes.
Honore de Balzac
When women love, they forgive everything...
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity in woman, fantasy.
Honore de Balzac
When chaste people need body or mind to resort to action or thought, they find steel in their muscles or knowledge in their intelligence. Theirs the diabolic vigor or the black magic of will power.
Honore de Balzac
The election of a deputy to the Legislature offers a noble and majestic spectacle comparable only to the delivery of a child. It involves the same efforts, the same impurities, the same laceration, and the same triumph.
Honore de Balzac
Man's condition is horrible because, no matter what form his happiness may take, it arises from some species of ignorance.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
The more you judge, the less you love.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority.
Honore de Balzac
