More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Love is precisely to the moral nature what the sun is to the earth.
Honore de Balzac
God is the author, men are only the players. These grand pieces which are played upon earth have been composed in heaven.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
If the human heart sometimes finds moments of pause as it ascends the slopes of affection, it rarely halts on the way down.
Honore de Balzac
The victory always has a lot of parents but the defeat is always an orphan.
Honore de Balzac
No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.
Honore de Balzac
Virtue in women is perhaps a question of temperament.
Honore de Balzac
Un homme n'a jamais pu e lever sa ma|tresse jusqu'a' lui mais une femme place toujours son amant aussi haut qu'elle. A man can never elevate his mistress to his rank, but a woman can always place her lover as high as she.
Honore de Balzac
Man's condition is horrible because, no matter what form his happiness may take, it arises from some species of ignorance.
Honore de Balzac
Imagination helps the realism of every detail, and only sees the beauties of the work.
Honore de Balzac
Innocence alone dares commit certain acts of audacity. Virtue, when tutored, is as calculating as vice.
Honore de Balzac
We must certainly acknowledge that solitude is a fine thing but it is a pleasure to have some one who can answer, and to whom we can say, from time to time, that solitude is a fine thing.
Honore de Balzac
We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
Honore de Balzac
To say to a rich man: You are poor! is to tell the Archbishop of Granada that his sermons are worthless.
Honore de Balzac
When tempted to be unfaithful, the intellectual woman will try to inspire her husband with indifference, the sentimental woman with hatred, and the passionate woman with disgust.
Honore de Balzac
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
For a sick man the world begins at his pillow and ends at the foot of his bed.
Honore de Balzac
A woman questions the man who loves exactly as a judge questions a criminal. This being so, a flash of the eye, a mere word, an inflection of the voice or a moment's hesitation suffice to expose the fact, betrayal or crime he is attempting to conceal.
Honore de Balzac
