Honore de Balzac
-
Love is the poetry of the senses.
-
When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.
-
Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.
-
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
-
Nobody loves a woman because she is handsome or ugly, stupid or intelligent. We love because we love.
