More quotes by Arthur Rimbaud
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
Arthur Rimbaud
A thousand Dreams within me softly burn
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
But the problem is to make the soul into a monster
Arthur Rimbaud
The Poet makes himself a seer through a long, vast and painstaking derangement of all the senses
Arthur Rimbaud
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees – And I found her bitter – And I reviled her.
Arthur Rimbaud
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Arthur Rimbaud
I understand, and not knowing how to express myself without pagan words, I’d rather remain silent
Arthur Rimbaud
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
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
Faith assuages, guides, restores.
Arthur Rimbaud
It was the voice of mad seas, roaring immense,/ That shattered your infant breast, too soft, too human.
Arthur Rimbaud
In the great glasshouses streaming with condensation, the children in mourning-dress beheld marvels.
Arthur Rimbaud
Hay que ser absolutamente Moderno
Arthur Rimbaud
You will always be a hyena.
Arthur Rimbaud
I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
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
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
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Arthur Rimbaud
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
Arthur Rimbaud
