Remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire
On the vaporization and the centralization of the Self. All is there.

Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Charles Baudelaire
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire

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
In art, there is one thing which does not receive sufficient attention. The element which is left to the human will is not nearly so large as people think.
Charles Baudelaire
I sit in the sky like a sphinx misunderstood My heart of snow is wed to the whiteness of swans I hate the movement that displaces the rigid lines, With lips untaught neither tears nor laughter do I know.
Charles Baudelaire
