More quotes by Honore de Balzac
With every one, the expectation of a misfortune constitutes a dreadful, punishment. Suffering then assumes the proportions of the unknown, which is the soul's infinite.
Honore de Balzac
In France we can cauterize wounds but we do not yet know any remedy for the injuries inflicted by a bon mot.
Honore de Balzac
The winter's frost must rend the burr of the nut before the fruit is seen. So adversity tempers the human heart, to discover its real worth.
Honore de Balzac
What a thing of fantasy a woman may become after dusk.
Honore de Balzac
The best painters, as they progress in reputation and towards perfection, are found to dispense more and more with the technique of the art, for simpler methods. Simplicity never fails to charm.
Honore de Balzac

Honore de Balzac
Virtue in women is perhaps a question of temperament.
Honore de Balzac
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes it is the life of another that we revere within us then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
Today nobility is gone: there is only a peerage.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Honore de Balzac
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Vice is perhaps a desire to learn everything.
Honore de Balzac
In the medical profession a horse and carriage are more necessary than any scientific knowledge.
Honore de Balzac
No navigator has yet traced lines of latitude and longitude on the conjugal sea.
Honore de Balzac
