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."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
