Balzac, Honore de (1799 – 1850), French realist novelist
Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.
Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint a second time.
I am a galley slave to pen and ink.
Behind every great fortune there is a crime.
