More quotes by Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Remorse is impotence, impotence which sins again. Repentance alone is powerful it ends all.
Honore de Balzac
There are moments in life when all we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us our wounds would wince at the touch of consoling words, that would reveal the depths of our pain.
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

Honore de Balzac
A naked woman is less dangerous than one who spreads her skirt skillfully to cover and exhibit everything at once.
Honore de Balzac
God is the poet men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
Women, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is so discreet as a young face, for nothing is less mobile it has the serenity, the surface smoothness, and the freshnessof a lake. There is no character in women's faces before the age of thirty.
Honore de Balzac
Thanks to the toleration preached by the encyclopedists of the eighteenth century, the sorcerer is exempt from torture.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
Honore de Balzac
Love is perhaps no more than gratitude for pleasure.
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
