Let us leave the cure of public evils to those quacks, the statesmen.
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
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
She who is really a wife, one in heart, flesh, and bone, must follow wherever he leads, in whom her life, her strength, her pride, and happiness are centered.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.
Honore de Balzac
