More quotes by Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Nothing about me surprises me.
Honore de Balzac
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Honore de Balzac
To forget is the great secret of strong creative natures to forget is the way nature herself who knows no past and who at every hour begins the mysteries of her untiring labors afresh.
Honore de Balzac
Neither the passions not justice nor politics nor the great social forces ever consider the victims they strike.
Honore de Balzac
Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Vulgar souls look hastily and superficially at the sea and accuse it of monotony other more privileged beings could spend a lifetime admiring it and discovering new and changing phenomena that delight them. So it is with love.
Honore de Balzac
