More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.
Honore de Balzac
It is not hope but despair that gives us the measure of our ambitions. We may yield secretly to beautiful poems of hope but grief looms start and stripped of all veils.
Honore de Balzac
Small natures require despotism to exercise their sinews, as great souls thirst for equality to give play to their heart.
Honore de Balzac
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself, will always be the text of the life of woman.
Honore de Balzac
To speak of love is to make love.
Honore de Balzac
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
Honore de Balzac
There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
Honore de Balzac
During the great storms of our lives we imitate those captains who jettison their weightiest cargo.
Honore de Balzac
Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
Honore de Balzac
Man's condition is horrible because, no matter what form his happiness may take, it arises from some species of ignorance.
Honore de Balzac
No society is complete without some victim, a creature to pity, to jeer at, to scorn or to protect.
Honore de Balzac
To man, faith to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two?
Honore de Balzac
Woman is stronger by virtue of her feelings than man by virtue of his power.
Honore de Balzac
No frozen-hearted woman ever I laid eyes on but has made duty her religion.
Honore de Balzac
White hair often covers the head, but the heart that holds it is ever young.
Honore de Balzac
The mind, too, has its regimen. It needs gymnastics, just like the body does.
Honore de Balzac
Many men are deeply moved by the mere semblance of suffering in a woman they take the look of pain for a sign of constancy or of love.
Honore de Balzac
A beautiful book is a victory won in all the battlefields of human thought.
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
There is nothing original all is reflected light.
