The questioning spirit is the rebellious spirit. A rebellion is always either a cloak to hide a prince, or the swaddling wrapper of a new rule (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Le bonheur engloutit nos forces, comme le malheur e teint nos vertus. Happiness engulfs our strength, just as misfortune extinguishes our virtues (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
L’amour n’est pas seulement un sentiment, il est un art aussi. Love is not only a feeling; it is also an art (Honore De Balzac Quotes)

Women? In order to realize how far these charming creatures we idealize can carry their cruelty, we must see them among themselves! (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity; in woman, fantasy (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a God is not forgiven the slightest pettiness (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
A husband can commit no greater blunder than to discuss his wife, if she is virtuous, with his mistress; unless it be to mention his mistress, if she is beautiful, to his wife (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Journalists grow accustomed to seeing evil and they let it pass; they proceed to approve it, and they end by committing it themselves (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
When passion is not fed, it changes to need. At this juncture, marriage becomes a fixed idea in the mind of the bourgeois, being the only means whereby he can win a woman and appropriate her to his uses (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
The greater a man’s talents, the more marked his idiosyncracies. Yet in the provinces originality is considered perilously close to lunacy (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Poets and men of action differ: the former yield to their feelings in order to reproduce them in lively colors, and therefore judge only ex post facto; the latter feel and judge at one and the same time (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
No woman has ever existed who did not know perfectly well in her heart what to expect from the superiority or inferiority of a rival (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Old maids claw as cats do. They not only inflict wounds but experience pleasure in doing so. Nor will they fail to remind their victims of the blood drawn (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
True lovers know how trifling a thing is money yet how difficult to blend with love! (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
No society is complete without some victim, a creature to pity, to jeer at, to scorn or to protect (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
To man, faith; to woman, doubt. She bears the heavier burden. Does not woman invariably suffer for two? (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Only when one has learned to acknowledge that wiser minds have made better words to come out of our mouths may we truly, then, begin to speak them (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Above all do not ask that justice be just: It is just, because it is justice. The idea of a just justice could have originated only in the brain of an anarchist (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
If we all said to people’s faces what we say behind one another’s backs, society would be impossible (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Suffering predisposes the mind to devoutness; and most young girls, prompted by instinctive tenderness, lean towards mysticism, the obscurer side of religion (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Thinking is seeing... Every human science is based on deduction, which is a slow process of seeing by which we work up from the effect to the cause; or, in a wider sense, all poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Intuition, like the rays of the sun, acts only in an inflexibly straight line; it can guess right only on condition of never diverting its gaze; the freaks of chance disturb it (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
A wife is property that one acquires by contract, she is transferable, because possession of her requires title; in fact, woman is, so to speak, only man’s appendage; consequently, slice, cut, clip her, you have all rights to her (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
I declare, on my soul and conscience, that the attainment of power, or of a great name in literature, seemed to me an easier victory than a success with some young, witty, and gracious lady of high degree (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
Marriage is a fierce battle before which the two partners ask heaven for its blessing, because loving each other is the most audacious of enterprises; the battle is not slow to start, and victory, that is to say freedom, goes to the cleverest (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
A year at the breast is quite enough; children who are suckled longer are said to grow stupid, and I am all for popular sayings (Honore De Balzac Quotes)
