Charles Baudelaire
Il faut travailler sinon par go u t, au moins par de sespoir, puisque, tout bien ve rifie , travailler est moins ennuyeux que s'amuser. We should work: if not by preference, at least out of despair. All things considered, work is less boring than amusement.
Charles Baudelaire
Amer savoir, celui qu'on tire du voyage! Bitter is the knowledge gained in travelling.
Charles Baudelaire
Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country.
Charles Baudelaire
