More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire
All the visible universe is nothing but a shop of images and signs.
Charles Baudelaire
...an industry which can furnish results identical to nature must be the absolute in art.
Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.
Charles Baudelaire
What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait.
Charles Baudelaire
Pure draughtsmen are philosophers and dialecticians. Colourists are epic poets.
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
Every healthy man can do without food for two days — but without poetry, never!
Charles Baudelaire
Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for.
Charles Baudelaire
Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable.
Charles Baudelaire
In art, there is one thing which does not receive sufficient attention. The element which is left to the human will is not nearly so large as people think.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is the natural occupation of the man of leisure.
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
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
Unable to suppress love, the Church wanted at least to disinfect it, and it created marriage.
Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.
Charles Baudelaire
A work of art should be like a well-planned crime.
Charles Baudelaire
This life is a hospital where every patient is possessed with the desire to change beds one man would like to suffer in front of the stove, and another believes that he would recover his health beside the window.
Charles Baudelaire
