More quotes by Honore de Balzac
I declare, on my soul and conscience, that the attainment of power, or of a great name in literature, seemed to me an easier victory than a success with some young, witty, and gracious lady of high degree.
Honore de Balzac
Un mari, comme un gouvernement, ne doit jamais avouer de faute. A husband, like a government, never needs to admit a fault.
Honore de Balzac
Genius is answerable only to itself it is the sole judge of the means, since it alone knows the end thus genius must consider itself as above the law, for it is the task of genius to remake the law moreover the man who frees himself from his time and place may take everything, hazard everything, for everything is his by right.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
We do not attach ourselves lastingly to anything that has not cost us care, labor or longing.
Honore de Balzac
No woman dares to refuse love without a motive, for nothing is more natural than to yield to love.
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
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
Danger arouses interest. Where death is involved, the vilest criminal invariably stirs a little compassion.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
Honore de Balzac
Paris, like every pretty woman, is subject to inexplicable whims of beauty and ugliness.
Honore de Balzac
