"The duration of a passion is proportionate with the original resistance of the woman."
"First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint a second time."
"Behind every fortune there is a crime."
"No man should marry before he has studied anatomy and dissected the body of a woman."
"Everything is bilateral in the domain of thought. Ideas are binary. Janus is the myth of criticism as well as genius. Only God is triangular."
-Honore de Balzac-

I've just stumbled upon your blog because it has the same name as mine: "Alms For Oblivion." You can find mine at almsforoblivion.blogspot.com Some of our interests may overlap.
