Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.

Charles Baudelaire
By nature, by necessity itself, [primitive man] is encyclopedic, while civilized man finds himself confined in the infinitely small regions of specialization.
Charles Baudelaire
Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place.
Charles Baudelaire
Strangeness is the indispensable condiment of all beauty.
Charles Baudelaire
If the word doesn't exist, invent it but first be sure it doesn't exist.
Charles Baudelaire
The habit of doing one's duty drives away fear.
Charles Baudelaire
I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow and the trees painted blue. Nature has no imagination.
Charles Baudelaire
