Honore de Balzac
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.

Honore de Balzac
Genius is answerable only to itself it is the sole judge of the means, since it alone knows the end thus genius must consider itself as above the law, for it is the task of genius to remake the law moreover the man who frees himself from his time and place may take everything, hazard everything, for everything is his by right.
Honore de Balzac
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
Honore de Balzac
