Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
A woman's greatest charm consists in a constant appeal to a man's generosity by a gracious declaration of helplessness which fills him with pride and awakens the most magnificent feelings in his heart.
Honore de Balzac
Talent is a flame, but genius is a fire.
Honore de Balzac
Loyalty in time of need is possibly one of the noblest of victories a courtier can win over himself.
Honore de Balzac
It is not hope but despair that gives us the measure of our ambitions. We may yield secretly to beautiful poems of hope but grief looms start and stripped of all veils.
Honore de Balzac
Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.
Honore de Balzac
The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honore de Balzac
