More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it.
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire
I am bored in France because everyone resembles Voltaire.
Charles Baudelaire
I think I would be happy in that place I happen not to be, and this question of moving house is the subject of a perpetual dialogue I have with my soul.
Charles Baudelaire
The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.
Charles Baudelaire
I am the vampire at my own veins.
Charles Baudelaire
It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
Charles Baudelaire
So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, be endlessly drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
A man who drinks only water has a secret to hide from his fellow men.
Charles Baudelaire
The cannon thunders... limbs fly in all directions... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice... it's Humanity in search of happiness.
Charles Baudelaire
Blessed art Thou, Lord, who giveth suffering As a divine remedy for our impurities.
Charles Baudelaire
