Honore de Balzac quote: "And he, like many jaded people, had few pleasures left in life..."

In Paris, when certain people see you ready to set your foot in the stirrup, some pull your coat-tails, others loosen the buckle of the strap that you may fall and crack your skull; one wrenches off your horse's shoes, another steals your whip, and the least treacherous of them all is the man whom you see coming to fire his pistol at you point blank. Honore de Balzac
When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich. Honore de Balzac
