A silent mouth is sweet to hear.
Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.
Charles Baudelaire
Two fundamental literary qualities: supernaturalism and irony.
Charles Baudelaire
The act of love strongly resembles torture or surgery.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
Through the Unknown, we'll find the New
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
All the visible universe is nothing but a shop of images and signs.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
There are some temptations which are so strong that they must be virtues.
Charles Baudelaire
La' , tout n'est qu'ordre et beaute , Luxe, calme et volupte . There where all is order and beauty. Lush, calm and voluptuous.
Charles Baudelaire
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.
Charles Baudelaire
Beware of all the paradoxical in love. It is simplicity which saves, it is simplicity which brings happiness...Love should be love.
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything for me becomes allegory
Charles Baudelaire
