Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Two fundamental literary qualities: supernaturalism and irony.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil comes up softly like a flower.
Charles Baudelaire
Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
Charles Baudelaire
I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow and the trees painted blue. Nature has no imagination.
Charles Baudelaire
With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
