More quotes by Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
A sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing but vexations to the other.
Honore de Balzac
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
Honore de Balzac
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: routine.
Honore de Balzac
Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.
Honore de Balzac
Genius is answerable only to itself it is the sole judge of the means, since it alone knows the end thus genius must consider itself as above the law, for it is the task of genius to remake the law moreover the man who frees himself from his time and place may take everything, hazard everything, for everything is his by right.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
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
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
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Liberty begets anarchy, anarchy leads to despotism, and despotism brings about liberty once again. Millions of human beings have perished without being able to make any of these systems triumph.
Honore de Balzac
White hair often covers the head, but the heart that holds it is ever young.
Honore de Balzac
Incurable wounds are those inflicted by tongue and eye, by mockery and disdain.
Honore de Balzac
La femme marie e est un esclave qu'il faut savoir mettre sur un tro n e. A married woman is a slave whom one must put on a throne.
Honore de Balzac
The day will dawn when Europe will believe only in the man who tramples her underfoot.
Honore de Balzac
The causes that govern the heart appear to be wholly alien to the results achieved. Are the forces that moved a desperate criminal the same that fill a martyr with pride, as both mount the scaffold?
Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
No woman has ever existed who did not know perfectly well in her heart what to expect from the superiority or inferiority of a rival.
Honore de Balzac
