More quotes by Arthur Rimbaud
And I am still alive-what though, my damnation is eternal. A man who deliberately mutilates himself is truly damned, is he not? I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am.
Arthur Rimbaud
-But I've just noticed that my mind is asleep.
Arthur Rimbaud
To whom shall I hire myself out? What beast should I adore? What holy image is attacked? What hearts shall I break? What lies shall I uphold? In what blood tread?
Arthur Rimbaud
And from that time on I bathed in the Poem Of the Sea, star-infused and churned into milk, Devouring the green azures where, entranced in pallid flotsam, A dreaming drowned man sometimes goes down.
Arthur Rimbaud
It is wrong to say: I think. One ought to say: I am thought. I is someone else.
Arthur Rimbaud
I shed more tears than God could ever have required.
Arthur Rimbaud
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Arthur Rimbaud
The northern lights rise like a kiss to the sea
Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
Arthur Rimbaud
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees – And I found her bitter – And I reviled her.
Arthur Rimbaud
Weakness or strength: you exist, that is strength. You don't know where you are going or why you are going, go in everywhere, answer everyone. No one will kill you, any more than if you were a corpse.
Arthur Rimbaud
Love...no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist. Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.
Arthur Rimbaud
A thousand Dreams within me softly burn
Arthur Rimbaud
I'm intact, and I don't give a damn.
Arthur Rimbaud
Morality is the weakness of the mind.
Arthur Rimbaud
Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.
Arthur Rimbaud
Oh! If only we were naked now, and free to watch our protruding parts align To whisper - both of us - in ecstasy!
Arthur Rimbaud
Misfortune was my god.
Arthur Rimbaud
A thousand Dreams within me softly burn: From time to time my heart is like some oak Whose blood runs golden where a branch is torn.
Arthur Rimbaud
