More quotes by Honore de Balzac
An unfulfilled vocation drains the color from a man's entire existence.
Honore de Balzac
Most women wish to feel that their spirit has been violated. Do they not, indeed, flatter themselves on never yielding save to force?
Honore de Balzac
Old maids claw as cats do. They not only inflict wounds but experience pleasure in doing so. Nor will they fail to remind their victims of the blood drawn.
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
One can imagine the look the two lovers exchanged it was like a flame, for virtuous lovers have not a shred of hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it.
Honore de Balzac
Unintelligent persons are like weeds that thrive in good ground they love to be amused in proportion to the degree in which they weary themselves.
Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
Our energies are often stimulated by the necessity of supporting a being weaker than ourselves.
Honore de Balzac
The winter's frost must rend the burr of the nut before the fruit is seen. So adversity tempers the human heart, to discover its real worth.
Honore de Balzac
He's got his dog trained so that it only does it on newspapers. The trouble is it does it when he's reading the blasted things.
Honore de Balzac
Women are tenacious, and all of them should be tenacious of respect without esteem they cannot exist esteem is the first demand that they make of love.
Honore de Balzac
Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.
Honore de Balzac
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
Honore de Balzac
Innocence alone dares commit certain acts of audacity. Virtue, when tutored, is as calculating as vice.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac
Thanks to the toleration preached by the encyclopedists of the eighteenth century, the sorcerer is exempt from torture.
Honore de Balzac
Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects.
Honore de Balzac
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.
Honore de Balzac
