More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Where ever I am not is the place where I am myself.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Comme l'imagination a cre e le monde, elle le gouverne. Because imagination created the world, it governs it.
Charles Baudelaire
Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.
Charles Baudelaire
As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work
Charles Baudelaire
A man who drinks only water has a secret to hide from his fellow men.
Charles Baudelaire
