More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil comes up softly like a flower.
Charles Baudelaire
Woman is natural, that is to say, abominable.
Charles Baudelaire
Progress, this great heresy of decay.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally goodness is always the product of some art.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything, alas, is an abyss, actions, desires, dreams, words!
Charles Baudelaire
A child sees everything in a sense of newness - he is always drunk. Genius is nothing but childhood re-attained at will.
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
Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will.
Charles Baudelaire
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
I am the vampire at my own veins.
Charles Baudelaire
There is a word, in a verb, something sacred which forbids us from using it recklessly. To handle a language cunningly is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.
Charles Baudelaire
It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.
Charles Baudelaire
I will drop into your chest like a vegetal ambrosia. I will be the grain that regenerates the cruelly plowed furrow. Poetry will be born of our intimate union. A god we shall create together, and we shall soar heavenward like sunbeams, perfumes, butterflies, birds, and all winged things.
Charles Baudelaire
A friend of mine, the most innocuous dreamer who ever lived, once set a forest on fire to see, as he said, if it would catch as easily as people said. The first ten times the experiment was a failure but on the eleventh it succeeded all too well.
Charles Baudelaire
What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters.
Charles Baudelaire
To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.
Charles Baudelaire
You walk on corpses, beauty, undismayed.
Charles Baudelaire
Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste.
Charles Baudelaire
Unable to suppress love, the Church wanted at least to disinfect it, and it created marriage.
Charles Baudelaire
