Honore de Balzac
Marriage is a fight to the death, before which the wedded couple ask a blessing from heaven, because it is the rashest of all undertakings to swear eternal love the fight at once commences and victory, that is to say liberty, remains in the hands of the cleverer of the two.
Honore de Balzac
Incurable wounds are those inflicted by tongue and eye, by mockery and disdain.
Honore de Balzac
The world will avenge itself upon all happiness in which it has no share.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
Honore de Balzac
Science is the language of the temporal world love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man love enraptures the angel science is still seeking love has found.
Honore de Balzac
