Balzac quote: Our greatest enemies are our relatives.

On May 20, 1799, in Tours, France, Balzac (Honore de Balzac), French novelist and playwright, was born. He was a conservative monarchist; the antipode of the democratic republicanism of the writer Victor Hugo. However, the sharp treatment of reality and the issues of the time won the respect of many socialists and Marxists. Engels said that Balzac was his favorite writer, while Marx constantly referred to his novels. He died in Paris on August 18, 1850. Below you can read 50 of his sayings.
