Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
The prodigality of millionaires is comparable only to their greed of gain. Let some whim or passion seize them and money is of no account. In fact these Croesuses find whims and passions harder to come by than gold.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
