More quotes by Honore de Balzac
Virtue in women is perhaps a question of temperament.
Honore de Balzac
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.
Honore de Balzac
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
Honore de Balzac
We do not attach ourselves lastingly to anything that has not cost us care, labor or longing.
Honore de Balzac
Behind every fortune there is a crime.
Honore de Balzac
Where some one else's welfare is concerned, a young girl becomes as ingenious as a thief. Guileless where she herself is in question, and full of foresight for me,-she is like a heavenly angel forgiving the strange incomprehensible sins of earth.
Honore de Balzac
Admiration bestowed upon any one but ourselves is always tedious.
Honore de Balzac
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply.
Honore de Balzac
Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.
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
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Honore de Balzac
No man has ever yet discovered the way to give friendly advice to any woman, not even to his own wife.
Honore de Balzac
Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them.
Honore de Balzac
Imagination helps the realism of every detail, and only sees the beauties of the work.
Honore de Balzac
Passion is born deaf and dumb.
Honore de Balzac
Novelty is both delightful and deceptive.
Honore de Balzac
Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.
Honore de Balzac
When will conventional good manners become attractive? When will ladies of fashion exhibit their shoulders a little less and their affability and wit a little more?
Honore de Balzac
No navigator has yet traced lines of latitude and longitude on the conjugal sea.
Honore de Balzac
A jealous husband doesnt doubt his wife, but himself.
Honore de Balzac
