A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her. - Honore de Balzac A woman in the depths of despair proves so persuasive that she wrenches the forgiveness lurking deep in the heart of her lover. This is all the more true when that woman is young, pretty, and so decollete as to emerge from the neck of her gown in the costume of Eve. - Honore de Balzac Alas, two men are often necessary to provide a woman with a perfect lover, just as in literature a writer composes a type only by employing the singularities of several similar characters. - Honore de Balzac Many of us marvel at the icy insensitivity with which women snuff out their armours. But if they did not blot out the past in this manner, life for them would lose all dignity and they could never resist the fatal familiarities to which they once submitted. - Honore de Balzac No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness. - Honore de Balzac Whereas scoundrels become reconciled after knifing one another, lovers break up irrevocably over a mere glance or word. - Honore de Balzac Lovers remember everything. [Lat., Meminerunt omnia amantes.] - Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
