More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Beware of all the paradoxical in love. It is simplicity which saves, it is simplicity which brings happiness...Love should be love.
Charles Baudelaire
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Charles Baudelaire
Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows, and all of summer's stunning afternoons will be gone. I already hear the dead thuds of logs below falling on the cobblestones and the lawn.
Charles Baudelaire
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
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
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire
Always be drunk ... Get drunk militantly. Just get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.
Charles Baudelaire
Every healthy man can do without food for two days — but without poetry, never!
Charles Baudelaire
It is one of the prodigious privileges of art that the horrific, artistically expressed, becomes beauty, and that sorrow, given rhythm and cadence, fills the spirit with a calm joy.
Charles Baudelaire
As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work
Charles Baudelaire
Always be a poet, even in prose.
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire
Wine transforms moles into eagles.
Charles Baudelaire
This industry [photography], by invading the territories of art, has become art's most mortal enemy.
Charles Baudelaire
Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
Charles Baudelaire
Nothing can be done except little by little.
Charles Baudelaire
...an industry which can furnish results identical to nature must be the absolute in art.
Charles Baudelaire
Color... thinks by itself, independently of the object it clothes.
Charles Baudelaire
There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior and the poet. To know, to kill and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practise what they call professions.
Charles Baudelaire
