Goriot Quotes

“ Daca inima omeneasca afla clipe de ragaz in timp ce urca pe culmile afectiunii, rareori se opreste pe povarnisul abrupt al sentimentelor dusmanoase ”
― Honore de Balzac

“That word "drama" has been somewhat discredited of late; it has been overworked and twisted to strange uses in these days of dolorous literature; but it must do service again here, not because this story is dramatic in the restricted sense of the word, but because some tears may perhaps be shed intra et extra muros before it is over.”
― Honoré de Balzac, Le Père Goriot Et Autres Textes Sur Le Thème De L'Argent
