※ Honoré de Balzac (Honoré Balzac, 1799~1850, Honoré de Balzac - Wikipedia ) ; a French novelist and playwright.
The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic(Napoleon Bonaparte, https://cw2588.blogspot.com/2022/11/napoleon-bonaparte-sayings-quotes.html ) French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature.
His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Zola ), Charles Dickens( https://cw2588.blogspot.com/2022/11/charles-dickens-sayings-quotes.html ), Marcel Proust( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Proust ), Gustave Flaubert( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Flaubert ), and Henry James( https://cw2588.blogspot.com/2024/03/henry-james-sayings-quotes-writing.html ), and filmmakers François Truffaut and Jacques Rivette.

What did people truly want to say to the world?
I want to convey the true heart of the person published here.
With this mindset, I hope to properly express Honoré de Balzac's heart.
1. Happiness depends on courage and work.
행복은 용기(勇氣)와 자기가 하는 일에 달려 있다.
2. There is no such thing as great talent without great willpower.
훌륭한 재능은 위대한 의지력(意志力)으로부터 나온다.
3. Faith makes everything possible, love makes everything easy.
믿음은 모든 것을 가능하게 하고, 사랑은 모든 것을 쉽게 만든다.
4. Even if nothing else alters, everything will change if I change.
다른 건 아무것도 변하지 않더라도 내가 변하면 모든 게 달라질 것이다.
5. If you are in adversity and you don't fall, it is great in itself.
역경(逆境)에 처해도 타락하지 않는다면, 그 자체만으로도 훌륭한 사람이다.
6. The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
어머니의 마음은 심연(深淵)과 같아서 그 밑바닥엔 언제나 용서가 가라앉아 있다.
7. Society bristles with enigmas which look hard to slove.
It is a perfect maze of intigue.
사회는 풀기 어려운 수수께끼로 가득 차 있다.
사회는 음모(陰謀)의 완벽한 미로(迷路)다.
8. Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.
평등은 아마도 권리일 수는 있지만, 지구상의 그 어떤 파워도 평등이라는 말을 실현시키지는 못할 것이다.
9. Such is life. It is no cleaner than a kitchen ; it reeks like a kitchen ; and if you mean to cook your dinner, you must expect to soil your hands ; the real art is in getting them clean again, and therein lies the whole morality of our epoch.
인생은 부엌보다도 더 어질러진 채 주방 냄새가 나는 그러한 것이다.
식사 준비를 하려면 손이 지저분해질 것을 예상해야 한다.
진정한 인생 예술이란 어질러진 부엌과 손을 다시 깨끗이 하는 것과 같으며, 여기에 우리 시대의 도덕이 담겨 있다.
10. [The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee(커피의 즐거움과 고통)]
This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion.
위(胃)안에 커피가 들어가면 위 속에서 기가 막힌 커피의 활약이 시작된다.
Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place.
그것은 마치 전쟁터에서 대군단의 보병부대가 신속하게 기동하며 전진하는 것과 다를 바 없다.
Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind.
The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with start up like sharpshooters.
기억은 다시 살아나고 두뇌의 논리적 활동은 사색을 더욱 촉진시키며, 전투부대와 같이 정신작용이 전개된다.
Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink ; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.
위트는 명사수가 쏘는 탄환같이 튀어 나오고,
백발백중 사람들을 사로잡으며,
글을 쓰면 명문(名文)이 계속 이어진다.
