More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
The People adore authority.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Even when she walks one would believe that she dances.
Charles Baudelaire
I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.
Charles Baudelaire
Who among us has not dreamt, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and rhyme, supple and staccato enough to adapt to the lyrical stirrings of the soul, the undulations of dreams, and sudden leaps of consciousness.
Charles Baudelaire
Anybody, providing he knows how to be amusing, has the right to talk about himself.
Charles Baudelaire
Woman is natural, that is to say, abominable.
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
