Image
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
Image
I wrote silences nights I recorded the unnameable.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
O witches, O misery, O hate, to you has my treasure been entrusted! I contrived to purge my mind of all human hope. On all joy, to strangle it, I pounced with the strength of a wild beast. I called to the plagues to smother me in blood, in sand, misfortune was my God.
Arthur Rimbaud

What am I doing here?
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Here I am on the shore of Brittany. Let the cities light up in the evening. My day is done. I am leaving Europe. The sea air will burn my lungs. Lost climates will tan me. I will swim, trample the grass, hung, and smoke especially. I will drink alcohol as strong as boiling metal--just as my dear ancestors did around their fires.
Arthur Rimbaud

Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees – And I found her bitter – And I reviled her.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Je est un autre. (I is someone else).
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.

Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
O seasons, O castles, What soul is without flaws? All its lore is known to me, Felicity, it enchants us all.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
Idle youth, enslaved to everything by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
It is wrong to say: I think. One ought to say: I am thought. I is someone else.

I'm intact, and I don't give a damn.
