More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Neither the passions not justice nor politics nor the great social forces ever consider the victims they strike.
Honore de Balzac
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity in woman, fantasy.
Honore de Balzac
The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed.
Honore de Balzac
There are words which cut like steel.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Thanks to the toleration preached by the encyclopedists of the eighteenth century, the sorcerer is exempt from torture.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
Inspiration is the opportunity of genius.
Honore de Balzac
The best painters, as they progress in reputation and towards perfection, are found to dispense more and more with the technique of the art, for simpler methods. Simplicity never fails to charm.
Honore de Balzac
I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.
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
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
Honore de Balzac
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
Honore de Balzac
People exaggerate both happiness and unhappiness we are never so fortunate nor so unfortunate as people say we are.
Honore de Balzac
In France we can cauterize wounds but we do not yet know any remedy for the injuries inflicted by a bon mot.
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
