"For passion, be it observed, brings insight..." - Quote by Honore De Balzac

“No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.”

“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.”

“Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.”

“Life isn't nearly as sacred as the appreciation of passion.”

“I know a man He came from my home town He wore his passion for his woman Like a thorny crown He said "Dolores I live in fear My love for you's so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear”

“It is to be all made of fantasy, All made of passion and all made of wishes, All adoration, duty, and observance, All humbleness, all patience and impatience, All purity, all trial, all observance”

“One smart reader is worth a thousand boneheads.”

“Nature: The unseen intelligence which loved us into being, and is disposing of us by the same token”

“If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit,The one's for use, the other useth it.”
