Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
There is something great and terrible about suicide.
Honore de Balzac
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.

Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
