More quotes by Honore de Balzac
In intimate family life, there comes a moment when children, willingly or no, become the judges of their parents.
Honore de Balzac
It is very difficult to pass from pleasure to work. Accordingly more poems have been swallowed up by sorrow than ever happiness caused to blaze forth in unparalleled radiance.
Honore de Balzac
Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
Honore de Balzac
All poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
With monuments as with men, position means everything.
Honore de Balzac
The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.
Honore de Balzac
A Creole woman is like a child, she wants to possess everything immediately like a child, she would set fire to a house in order to fry an egg. In her languor, she thinks of nothing when passionately aroused, she thinks of any act possible or impossible.
Honore de Balzac
Like most young people, these two attributed to the world their own intelligence and virtues. Youth who knows no failure has no mercy on the faults of other people but it has also a sublime faith in them.
Honore de Balzac
All genuinely noble women prefer truth to falsehood. As the Russians with their Czar, they are unwilling to see their idol degraded they want to be proud of the domination they accept.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is the spur of genius.
Honore de Balzac
If we study Nature attentively in its great evolutions as in its minutest works, we cannot fail to recognize the possibility of enchantment - giving to that word its exact significance.
Honore de Balzac
There are no principles there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
Honore de Balzac
Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism and the symbol of genius. Only God is triangular!
Honore de Balzac
Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
Men die in despair, while spirits die in ecstasy.
Honore de Balzac
At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.
Honore de Balzac
France is a country that loves to change their government if it is always the same.
