More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Art's greatest efforts are invariably a timid counterfeit of Nature.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Liberty begets anarchy, anarchy leads to despotism, and despotism brings about liberty once again. Millions of human beings have perished without being able to make any of these systems triumph.
Honore de Balzac
It is no sin to be tempted the wickedness lies in being overcome.
Honore de Balzac
Nothing is so discreet as a young face, for nothing is less mobile it has the serenity, the surface smoothness, and the freshnessof a lake. There is no character in women's faces before the age of thirty.

Honore de Balzac
Numbers are intellectual witnesses that belong only to mankind.
Honore de Balzac
Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table.
Honore de Balzac
All happiness depends on courage and work.
Honore de Balzac
Resignation is a daily suicide.
Honore de Balzac
Are not poets men who fulfill their hopes prematurely?
Honore de Balzac
Little minds find satisfaction for their feelings, good or bad, in little things.
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
The woman you buy takes a great deal of money. The woman who gives herself to you takes all your money.
Honore de Balzac
Give to a wounded heart seclusion consolation nor reason ever effected anything in such a case.
Honore de Balzac
