More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
From that moment onwards, our loathsome society rushed, like Narcissus, to contemplate its trivial image on a metallic plate. A form of lunacy, an extraordinary fanaticism took hold of these new sun-worshippers.
Charles Baudelaire
To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.
Charles Baudelaire
An artist is only an artist on condition that he neglects no aspect of his dual nature. This dualism is the power of being oneself and someone else at one and the same time.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.
Charles Baudelaire
All the visible universe is nothing but a shop of images and signs.
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
Discover day to day excitement.
Charles Baudelaire
Art is an infinitely precious good, a draught both refreshing and cheering which restores the stomach and the mind to the natural equilibrium of the ideal.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for.
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
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
For me, Romanticism is the most recent and the most current expression of beauty.
Charles Baudelaire
An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.
Charles Baudelaire
...an industry which can furnish results identical to nature must be the absolute in art.
Charles Baudelaire
Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
Charles Baudelaire
The life of our city is rich in poetic and marvelous subjects. We are enveloped and steeped as though in an atmosphere of the marvelous but we do not notice it.
Charles Baudelaire
Nothing can be done except little by little.
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
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
Charles Baudelaire
