Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
From Honore de Balzac
It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion; it is a joy of every moment.
A husband who submits to his wife's yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman's influence ought to be entirely concealed.
Conscience is our unerring judge until we finally stifle it.
The country is provincial; it becomes ridiculous when it tries to ape Paris.
Death unites as well as separates; it silences all paltry feeling.
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
A man is a poor creature compared to a woman.
