Honore de Balzac
One of the most detestable habits of Lilliputian minds is to find their own littleness in others.
Honore de Balzac
Women, perhaps even require a little hypocrisy.
Honore de Balzac
Conventions are often more cruel than the law.
Honore de Balzac
Marriageable girls as well as mothers understand the terms and perils of the lottery called wedlock. That is why women weep at a wedding and men smile.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
When tempted to be unfaithful, the intellectual woman will try to inspire her husband with indifference, the sentimental woman with hatred, and the passionate woman with disgust.
Honore de Balzac
How did you get back?' asked Vautrin. 'I walked,' replied Eugene. 'I wouldn't like half-pleasures, myself,' observed the tempter. 'I'd want to go there in my own carriage, have my own box, and come back in comfort. All or nothing, that's my motto.' 'And a very good one,' said Madame Vauquer.
