Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.Honoré de Balzac
Between the daylight gambler and the player at night there is the same difference that lies between a careless husband and the lover swooning under his lady's window.Honoré de Balzac
Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together; every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.Honoré de Balzac
It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.Honoré de Balzac
A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.Honoré de Balzac
