"Nobody loves a woman because she is..." - Quote by Honore De Balzac

“Women are tenacious, and all of them should be tenacious of respect; without esteem they cannot exist; esteem is the first demand that they make of love.”

“Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.”

“The victory always has a lot of parents but the defeat is always an orphan.”

“I'll make my heaven in a lady's lap”

“We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.”

“Love is just a word, but you bring it definition.”

“I lay it down as a general rule, Harriet, that if a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him.”

“Mother, you had me, but I never had you.”

“The only way to be loved is to be loveable, which really irritates me.”
