More quotes by Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom to serve all, but love only one.
Honore de Balzac
A man who stops at nothing short of the law is very clever indeed!
Honore de Balzac
For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Give to a wounded heart seclusion consolation nor reason ever effected anything in such a case.
Honore de Balzac
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
A woman, even a prude, is not long at a loss, however dire her plight. She would seen always to have in hand the fig leaf our Mother Eve bequeathed to her.
Honore de Balzac
It's not enough to be a good person. You also have to show it.
Honore de Balzac
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Your women of fashion ceases to be a woman. She is neither mother, nor wife, nor lover. She is, medically speaking, sex on the brain.
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
At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.
Honore de Balzac
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
Talent is a flame, but genius is a fire.
Honore de Balzac
It is no sin to be tempted the wickedness lies in being overcome.
Honore de Balzac
Possibly the words materialism and spirituality express two sides of one and the same fact.
Honore de Balzac
