Honore de Balzac
The victory always has a lot of parents but the defeat is always an orphan.
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
To have one's mother-in-law in the country when one lives in Paris, and vice versa, is one of those strokes of luck that one encounters only too rarely.
Honore de Balzac
A husband and wife who are in the habit of occupying separate rooms are either beings apart, or they have found happiness. Either they hate or they adore each other.
Honore de Balzac
Imagination helps the realism of every detail, and only sees the beauties of the work.
Honore de Balzac
