Quotation from Cousin Betty by Honoré de Balzac

“I see vengeance wherever I turn in nature”

Honoré de Balzac (spoken by Lisbeth Fischer)

Cousin Betty, Valérie's deathbed, trans. James Waring

Lisbeth answers Valérie's plea for repentance with a creed of revenge drawn from nature, and the priest calls her an atheist.
