"The life of a man who deliberately..." - Quote by Honore De Balzac

“There are some women whose pregnancy would make some sly bachelor smile.”

“The duration of passion is proportionate with the original resistance of the woman.”

“Memories beautify life, but the capacity to forget makes it bearable.”

“Money does not arise by convention, any more than the state does. It arises out of exchange, and arises naturally out of exchange; it is a product of the same.”

“If money is your hope for independence you will never have it”

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”

“What I like, or one of the things I like, about motoring is the sense it gives one of lighting accidentally, like a voyager who touches another planet with the tip of his toe, upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Then it seems to me I am allowed to see the heart of the world uncovered for a moment.”

“The object of living is work, experience, happiness.”

“We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness.”
