More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Il faut travailler sinon par go u t, au moins par de sespoir, puisque, tout bien ve rifie , travailler est moins ennuyeux que s'amuser. We should work: if not by preference, at least out of despair. All things considered, work is less boring than amusement.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
If the word doesn't exist, invent it but first be sure it doesn't exist.
Charles Baudelaire
Where are the dogs going? you people who pay so little attention ask. They are going about their business. And they are very punctilious, without wallets, notes, and without briefcases.
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
On the vaporization and the centralization of the Self. All is there.
Charles Baudelaire
Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything for me becomes allegory
Charles Baudelaire
