Honore de Balzac
Isn't it really quite extraordinary to see that, since man took his first step, no one has asked himself why he walks, how he walks, if he has ever walked, if he could walk better, what he achieves in walking .. questions that are tied to all the philosophical, psychological, and political systems which preoccupy the world.

Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Nos beaux sentiments ne sont-ils pas les poe sies de la volonte ? Aren't our best feelings poetry of the will?
Honore de Balzac
