More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
By dint of making sacrifices, a man grows interested in the person who exacts them. Great ladies, like courtesans, know this truth by instinct.
Honore de Balzac
The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed.
Honore de Balzac
In smart society men are jealous of one another after the fashion of women.
Honore de Balzac
Life in clubs is no paltry sign of the times we live in. Here gentlemen gamble with others whom they would not dream of inviting to their homes.
Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Kindness steers no easy course. Attributing it to character, we seldom recognize the secret efforts of a noble heart, whereas we reward really wicked people for the evil they refrain from committing.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist there can only be promise of the coming woman.
Honore de Balzac
Let us leave the cure of public evils to those quacks, the statesmen.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Love is a game in which one always cheats.
Honore de Balzac
A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.
Honore de Balzac
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
Art's greatest efforts are invariably a timid counterfeit of Nature.
Honore de Balzac
He hesitated till the last moment, but finally dropped them in the box, saying, I shall win!--the cry of a gambler, the cry of the great general, the compulsive cry that has ruined more men than it has ever saved.
Honore de Balzac
The greatest tyranny is to love I where we are not loved again.
Honore de Balzac
Nature knows nothing but solid bodies your science deals only with combinations of surfaces. And so nature constantly gives the lie to all your laws can you name one to which no fact makes an exception?
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
Virtue is not a thing you can have by halves it is or it is not.
Honore de Balzac
