More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
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
Fools gain greater advantages through their weakness than intelligent men through their strength. We watch a great man struggling against fate and we do not lift a finger to help him. But we patronize a grocer who is headed for bankruptcy.
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
Honore de Balzac
Everybody all over the world takes a wife's estimate into account in forming an opinion of a man.
Honore de Balzac
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Honore de Balzac
With monuments as with men, position means everything.
Honore de Balzac
Prostitution and robbery are two living protests, respectively female and male, made by the natural state against the social state.
Honore de Balzac
While seeking out the dead, I see nothing but the living.
Honore de Balzac
For businessmen, the world is a bale of banknotes in circulation for most young men, it is a woman for some women, it is a man and for others it may be a salon, a coterie, a part of town or a whole city.
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
Your modest savant smiles as he says to his admirers: What have I done? Nothing. Man does not invent a force, he directs it.
Honore de Balzac
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
Honore de Balzac
Events are never absolute, their outcome depends entirely upon the individual.
Honore de Balzac
Nos beaux sentiments ne sont-ils pas les poe sies de la volonte ? Aren't our best feelings poetry of the will?
Honore de Balzac
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue is not a thing you can have by halves it is or it is not.
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
Clouds signify the veil of the Most High.
Honore de Balzac
