Quote by Honoré de Balzac

"The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness."

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime."

"The true test of civilization is not the census, nor the size of cities, but the kind of man the country turns out."

"Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
