More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Even beauty cannot always palliate eccentricity.
Honore de Balzac
Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
Honore de Balzac
One admirable trait in women is their lack of illusions about themselves. They never reason about their most blameworthy actions their feelings carry them away. Even their dissimulation comes naturally to them, and in them crime is free of all baseness. Most of the time they simply do not know how it happened.
Honore de Balzac
No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue is always too much of a piece and too ignorant of those shades of feeling and of temperament that enable us to squint when we are placed in a false position.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must perforce fight against the all-devouring monster of habit.
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
Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Show me the woman, however loyal, who does not seek to rouse desire.
Honore de Balzac
Women, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.
Honore de Balzac
Reading brings us unknown friends
Honore de Balzac
Can you find a man who loves the occupation that provides him with a livelihood? Professions are like marriages we end by feeling only their inconveniences.
Honore de Balzac
Poetry is only born after painful journeys into the vast regions of thought.
Honore de Balzac
Who shall ever tell how much an unmerited disfavor crushes a shy person? Who can ever depict the misfortunes of timidity?
Honore de Balzac
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
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
Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance
Honore de Balzac
