The union of a want and a sentiment.
Honore de Balzac
Intuition, like the rays of the sun, acts only in an inflexibly straight line it can guess right only on condition of never diverting its gaze the freaks of chance disturb it.
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
A Creole woman is like a child, she wants to possess everything immediately like a child, she would set fire to a house in order to fry an egg. In her languor, she thinks of nothing when passionately aroused, she thinks of any act possible or impossible.

Honore de Balzac
The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.
Honore de Balzac
Modern society includes three types of men who can never think very highly of the world--the priest, the physician, and the attorney-at-law. They all wear black, too, for are they not in mourning for every virtue and every illusion?
Honore de Balzac
Incurable wounds are those inflicted by tongue and eye, by mockery and disdain.
Honore de Balzac
Passions are no more forgiving than human laws and they reason more justly. Are they not based on a conscience of their own, infallible as an instinct?
Honore de Balzac
One can imagine the look the two lovers exchanged it was like a flame, for virtuous lovers have not a shred of hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
A murderer is less loathsome to us than a spy. The murderer may have acted on a sudden mad impulse he may be penitent and amend but a spy is always a spy, night and day, in bed, at table, as he walks abroad his vileness pervades every moment of his life
Honore de Balzac
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
Our heart is a treasury if you pour out all its wealth at once, you are bankrupt.
Honore de Balzac
A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.
Honore de Balzac
To say to a rich man: You are poor! is to tell the Archbishop of Granada that his sermons are worthless.
Honore de Balzac
A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second with a husband it runs the other way.
Honore de Balzac
How fondly swindlers coddle their dupes! No mother is as caressing or thoughtful towards her adored child as a merchant in hypocrisy toward his milch-cow.
Honore de Balzac
