More quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Our squalid society rushed, Narcissus to a man, to gaze on its trivial image on a scrap of metal.
Charles Baudelaire
Passion I hate, and spirit does me wrong. Let us love gently.
Charles Baudelaire
Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
And, drunk with my own madness, I shouted at him furiously, Make life beautiful! Make life beautiful!
Charles Baudelaire
There are some temptations which are so strong that they must be virtues.
Charles Baudelaire
In this horror of solitude, this need to lose his ego in exterior flesh, which man calls grandly the need for love.
Charles Baudelaire
The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself and others, as he wishes.
Charles Baudelaire
