The love between men and women is mainly a selfish feeling, and selfishness is a calculation of every detail. Balzac

True love is like a beautiful flower. The poorer the ground on which it blooms, the more pleasing it looks. Balzac

Love is a pure spring. It starts from a riverbed filled with cress and flowers and is filled with gravel. It changes its nature and shape with each flood, either becoming a small stream or a big river. Finally it flows into the vast ocean, where the poor in spirit only see its monotony, while the noble in spirit indulge in constant meditation. Balzac

You are the children of the enslaved land, you are the angel of love, you are the whimsical elf, you are the honest child, you are the experienced old man, you are rich and wise. man, you are a kind-hearted woman, you are a giant full of hope, you are a mother who has suffered much, and you are a poet full of fantasy. Balzac

Love is a religion. The cost of believing in this religion is much higher than that of other religions; disaster. Balzac

My child, that feeling you have is love. It is pure, innocent, and true to its true nature. It is involuntary, comes quickly, and steals everything like a thief. Sweep away yes, sweep everything away! That was already within my expectation. I have carefully observed women and know that some of them need to see many emotional proofs and miracles before they are tempted. They have to be defeated before they speak or give in; but there are also other women who, because of a kind of love that is now available, Magnetic liquid is used to explain the ringing effect, which will make you fall in love at first sight. Balzac

Such a home is not a tomb, but something worse than a tomb: a monastery.

In this cold environment, he looked at their wife with loveless eyes: with severe pain, he noticed the narrow-mindedness of her thoughts, which was reflected in her hair sticking to her low-cut and slightly concave forehead; he found that There was an expression of rigidity and stubbornness in her upright face, which soon made him hate the false tenderness which had previously deluded him.

Balzac Story 2
