Charles Baudelaire
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.
Charles Baudelaire
Drink wine, drink poetry, drink virtue.
Charles Baudelaire
The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.
Charles Baudelaire
A man who drinks only water has a secret to hide from his fellow men.
Charles Baudelaire
We love women in proportion to their degree of strangeness to us.

There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for.
Charles Baudelaire
