French realist novelist (1799 - 1850)

Imagination helps bring out the realism of every detail and only sees the beauties of the work.
All human power is a compound of time and patience.
All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.
Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.
No man should marry before he has studied anatomy and dissected the body of a woman.
The duration of passion is proportionate with the original resistance of the woman.
The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.
This coffee plunges into the stomach...the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle.... Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters.
