Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will.
Charles Baudelaire

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
It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
Charles Baudelaire
There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.
Charles Baudelaire
To glorify the cult of images (my great, my only, my earliest passion).
Charles Baudelaire
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
We are all born marked for evil.
Charles Baudelaire
