Honore de Balzac
When women love, they forgive everything...
Honore de Balzac
With a woman, always make good use of a secret. She will be proportionally grateful to you, like a scoundrel who grants his respect to an honest man he has been unable to swindle.
Honore de Balzac
God is the author, men are only the players. These grand pieces which are played upon earth have been composed in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
Virtually all men of action incline to Fatality just as most thinkers incline to Providence.
Honore de Balzac
In smart society men are jealous of one another after the fashion of women.
