Honore de Balzac
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart like a viper in its hole.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
One of the glories of society is to have created woman where Nature had made only a female to have created a continuity of desire where Nature thought only of perpetuating the species and, in fine, to have invented love.
Honore de Balzac
No man has ever yet discovered the way to give friendly advice to any woman, not even to his own wife.
Honore de Balzac
It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.
Honore de Balzac
In a world of hunchbacks, a fine figure becomes a monstrosity.
Honore de Balzac
Rich men are resolved to be astonished at nothing. When they see a masterpiece, they must needs at one glance recognize some flaw to dispense them from admiration, a vulgar emotion.
Honore de Balzac
Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance
Honore de Balzac
The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
