More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.
Charles Baudelaire
What men call love is a very small, restricted, feeble thing compared with this ineffable orgy, this divine prostitution of the soul giving itself entire, all its poetry and all its charity, to the unexpected as it comes along, to the stranger as he passes.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally goodness is always the product of some art.
Charles Baudelaire
The unique and supreme voluptuousness of love lies in the certainty of committing evil. And men and women know from birth that in evil is found all sensual delight.
Charles Baudelaire
Every healthy man can do without food for two days — but without poetry, never!
Charles Baudelaire
I am the wound and the knife! I am the slap and the cheek! I am the limbs and the rack, And the victim and the executioner! I am the vampire of my own heart.
Charles Baudelaire
However incoherent a human existence may be, human unity is not bothered by it.
Charles Baudelaire
The more delicate and ambitious the soul, the further do dreams estrange it from possible things.
Charles Baudelaire
Delacroix was passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible.
Charles Baudelaire
The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself and others, as he wishes.
Charles Baudelaire
It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk get drunk without stopping! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish.
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire
Pure draughtsmen are philosophers and dialecticians. Colourists are epic poets.
Charles Baudelaire
For me, Romanticism is the most recent and the most current expression of beauty.
Charles Baudelaire
If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it.
Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
Charles Baudelaire
Doubt, or the absence of faith and naivete, is a vice peculiar to this age, for no one is obedient nowadays and naivete, which means the dominance of temperament in the manner, is a gift from God, possessed by very few.
Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
Nations, like families, have great men only in spite of themselves. They do everything in their power not to have any. And therefore, the great man, in order to exist, must possess a force of attack which is greater than the force of resistance developed by millions of people.
Charles Baudelaire
The immense profundity of thought in vulgar locutions, like holes dug by generations of ants.
Charles Baudelaire
