Honore de Balzac
If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization would be impossible.
Honore de Balzac
Do you know how a man makes his way here? By brilliant genius or by skilful corruption. You must either cut your way through these masses of men like a cannon ball, or steal among them like a plague.
Honore de Balzac
It's catastrophies which turn wise and strong people into philosophers.
Honore de Balzac
For young people always begin by loving exaggeration, that infirmity of noble minds.
Honore de Balzac
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
Honore de Balzac
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
Honore de Balzac
