Honore de Balzac
Science is the language of the temporal world love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man love enraptures the angel science is still seeking love has found.
Honore de Balzac
They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.
Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.
