Honore de Balzac
The greatest tyranny is to love I where we are not loved again.
Honore de Balzac
When a woman starts talking about her duty, her regard for appearances, and her respect for religion, she raises so many bulwarks which she delights to see captured by storm.
Honore de Balzac
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
Honore de Balzac
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
La femme marie e est un esclave qu'il faut savoir mettre sur un tro n e. A married woman is a slave whom one must put on a throne.
Honore de Balzac
Hope is a memory that desires, the memory is a memory that has enjoyed.
Honore de Balzac
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
