More quotes by Honore de Balzac
We flew back home like swallows. 'Is it happiness that makes us so light?' Agathe asked.
Honore de Balzac
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist.
Honore de Balzac
Vivacity is the health of the spirit.
Honore de Balzac
True love is mixed up with birdlike squabbles, in which the disputants wound each other to the quick but a quarrel without animus is, on the contrary, apiece of flattery to the dupe's conceit.
Honore de Balzac
A murderer is less loathsome to us than a spy. The murderer may have acted on a sudden mad impulse he may be penitent and amend but a spy is always a spy, night and day, in bed, at table, as he walks abroad his vileness pervades every moment of his life
Honore de Balzac
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself, will always be the text of the life of woman.
Honore de Balzac
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
Honore de Balzac
Coffee falls into the stomach... ideas begin to move, things remembered arrive at full gallop... the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similes arise, the paper is covered with ink...
Honore de Balzac
Pity is woman's sweetest charm.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
In Paris every man must have had a love affair. What woman wants something that no other woman ever wanted.
Honore de Balzac
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
Honore de Balzac
A married woman is a slave you must know how to seat upon a throne.
Honore de Balzac
Bankers are lynxes. To expect any gratitude from them is equivalent to attempting to move the wolves of the Ukraine to pity in the middle of winter.
Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac
I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.
Honore de Balzac
Tradesmen regard an author with a mixed feeling of terror, compassion and curiosity.
Honore de Balzac
Little minds find satisfaction for their feelings, good or bad, in little things.
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
It is a singular fact that most men of action incline to the theory of fatalism, while the greater part of men of thought believe in providence.
Honore de Balzac
