Honore de Balzac
A married woman is a slave you must know how to seat upon a throne.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
Honore de Balzac
Perhaps it is only human nature to inflict suffering on anything that will endure suffering, whether by reason of its genuine humility, or indifference, or sheer helplessness.
Honore de Balzac
Show me the woman, however loyal, who does not seek to rouse desire.
Honore de Balzac
