More quotes by Honore de Balzac
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac
The duration of a couple's passion is in proportion to the woman's original resistance or to the obstacles that social hazards have placed in the way of her happiness.
Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors.
Honore de Balzac
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, Serve all, love one.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Men die in despair, while spirits die in ecstasy.
Honore de Balzac
The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the physical presence.
Honore de Balzac
A woman, even a prude, is not long at a loss, however dire her plight. She would seen always to have in hand the fig leaf our Mother Eve bequeathed to her.
Honore de Balzac
No society is complete without some victim, a creature to pity, to jeer at, to scorn or to protect.
Honore de Balzac
Danger arouses interest. Where death is involved, the vilest criminal invariably stirs a little compassion.
Honore de Balzac
While seeking out the dead, I see nothing but the living.
Honore de Balzac
Vice is perhaps a desire to learn everything.
Honore de Balzac
A husband can commit no greater blunder than to discuss his wife, if she is virtuous, with his mistress unless it be to mention his mistress, if she is beautiful, to his wife.
Honore de Balzac
A beautiful book is a victory won in all the battlefields of human thought.
Honore de Balzac
In Paris every man must have had a love affair. What woman wants something that no other woman ever wanted.
Honore de Balzac
It is a singular fact that most men of action incline to the theory of fatalism, while the greater part of men of thought believe in providence.
Honore de Balzac
