More quotes by 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
The election of a deputy to the Legislature offers a noble and majestic spectacle comparable only to the delivery of a child. It involves the same efforts, the same impurities, the same laceration, and the same triumph.
Honore de Balzac
When will conventional good manners become attractive? When will ladies of fashion exhibit their shoulders a little less and their affability and wit a little more?
Honore de Balzac
What makes friendship indissolute and what doubles its charms is a feeling we find lacking in love: I mean certitude.
Honore de Balzac
Life is simply what out feelings do to us.
Honore de Balzac
I am not deep, but I am very wide.
Honore de Balzac
The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
In a husband, there is only a man in a married woman, there is a man, a father, a mother and a woman.
Honore de Balzac
In France everything is a matter for jest. People make quips about the scaffold, about Napoleon's defeat on the banks of The Beresina, and about the barricades of our revolutions. So, at the assizes of the Last Judgment, there will always be a Frenchmen to crack a joke.
Honore de Balzac
The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
Hope is a memory that desires, the memory is a memory that has enjoyed.
Honore de Balzac
Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.
Honore de Balzac
With monuments as with men, position means everything.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
Can you find a man who loves the occupation that provides him with a livelihood? Professions are like marriages we end by feeling only their inconveniences.
Honore de Balzac
Art's greatest efforts are invariably a timid counterfeit of Nature.
Honore de Balzac
Glory is a poison, good to be taken in small doses.
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
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
