Musicians are seldom unemotional; a woman who could sing like that must know how to love indeed.
Les musiciennes sont presque toujours amoureuses. Celle qui chantait ainsi devait savoir bien aimer.

More quotes by Honoré de Balzac
Science is the language of the Temporal world, Love is that of the Spiritual world.
The most real of all splendors are not in outward things, they are within us.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
