She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned
romance as she grew older--the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.
Jane Austen, Persuasion
No woman dares to refuse love without a motive, for nothing is more natural than to yield to love.
Honore de Balzac
The man whom fate employs to awaken love in the heart of a young girl
is often unaware of his work and therefore leaves it uncompleted.
Honore de Balzac
Authentic love always assumes the mystery of modesty, even in its expression, because actions speak louder than words. Unlike a feigned love, it feels no need to set a conflagration.
Honore de Balzac
Love endows us with a sort of personal religion; we respect another live within ourselves.
Honore de Balzac
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
Honore de Balzac
