All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
Image
A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Let passion reach a catastrophe and it submits us to an intoxicating force far more powerful than the niggardly irritation of wine or of opium. The lucidity our ideas then achieve, and the delicacy of our overly exalted sensations, produce the strangest and most unexpected effects.
Honore de Balzac
Image
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
Image
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
Image
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Rich women need not fear old age their gold can always create about them any feelings necessary to their happiness.
