"A young bride is like a plucked..." - Quote by Honore De Balzac

“A mother who is really a mother is never free.”

“Many men are deeply moved by the mere semblance of suffering in a woman; they take the look of pain for a sign of constancy or of love.”

“To those who have exhausted politics, nothing remains but abstract thought.”

“Money and women are the most sought after and the least known about of any two things we have.”

“When I invite a woman to dinner, I expect her to look at my face. That's the price she has to pay.”

“Women are an alien race set down among us.”

“It is most unwise for people in love to marry.”

“All young women begin by believing they can change and reform the men they marry. They can't.”

“Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.”
