Quote by Honoré de Balzac

← Back to Quote

English (Source)

Without practice, passions become petty because they blow up small things. This is the reason for the avarice and gossip that make country life so stinking. The imitation of narrow ideals and petty manners soon takes its toll on even the noblest personality. This is how people destined for greatness perish, women who would have been charming if they had been elevated by the teachings of the world and shaped by higher spirits.

Gyakorlat hĂ­jĂĄn a szenvedĂ©lyek kicsinyessĂ© vĂĄlnak, mert ap­rĂłlĂ©kos dolgokat fĂșjnak fel naggyĂĄ. Ez az oka a fösvĂ©nysĂ©gnek Ă©s pletykĂĄlkodĂĄsnak, amely olyan bƱzhödttĂ© teszi a vidĂ©ki Ă©le­tet. A szƱk körƱ eszmĂ©k Ă©s a kicsinyes modor utĂĄnzĂĄsa csakha­mar erƑt vesz a legnemesebb sze­mĂ©lyisĂ©gen is. Így pusztulnak el nagysĂĄgra hivatott emberek, olyan asszonyok, akik bĂĄjosak lettek volna, ha a nagyvilĂĄg tanĂ­tĂĄsai fölemelik Ă©s magasabb rendƱ szellemek kiformĂĄljĂĄk Ƒket.
