More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Ah! What pleasure it must be to a woman to suffer for the one she loves!
Honore de Balzac
Men are perfectly willing to abandon a woman but they refuse to be abandoned by her.
Honore de Balzac
The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the physical presence.
Honore de Balzac
Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.
Honore de Balzac
Now literary success can only be won in solitude by persevering labor.
Honore de Balzac
We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
Honore de Balzac
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
Honore de Balzac
The prodigality of millionaires is comparable only to their greed of gain. Let some whim or passion seize them and money is of no account. In fact these Croesuses find whims and passions harder to come by than gold.
Honore de Balzac
Necessity is often the spur to genius.
Honore de Balzac
Doubt follows white-winged hope with trembling steps.
Honore de Balzac
No husband will ever be better avenged than by his wife's lover.
Honore de Balzac
The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
Honore de Balzac
While seeking out the dead, I see nothing but the living.
Honore de Balzac
Marriage must perforce fight against the all-devouring monster of habit.
Honore de Balzac
The election of a deputy to the Legislature offers a noble and majestic spectacle comparable only to the delivery of a child. It involves the same efforts, the same impurities, the same laceration, and the same triumph.
Honore de Balzac
Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it.
Honore de Balzac
Danger arouses interest. Where death is involved, the vilest criminal invariably stirs a little compassion.
Honore de Balzac
Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.
Honore de Balzac
Are not poets men who fulfill their hopes prematurely?
Honore de Balzac
When an intelligent man reaches the point of inviting self-explanation and offers surrendering the key to his heart, he is assuredly riding a drunken horse.
Honore de Balzac
