This life is a hospital where every patient is possessed with the desire to change beds one man would like to suffer in front of the stove, and another believes that he would recover his health beside the window.

More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Who among us has not dreamt, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and rhyme, supple and staccato enough to adapt to the lyrical stirrings of the soul, the undulations of dreams, and sudden leaps of consciousness.
Charles Baudelaire
Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste.
Charles Baudelaire
Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country.
Charles Baudelaire
On the vaporization and the centralization of the Self. All is there.
Charles Baudelaire
Artist should look at the reality and brutality of modern life in all its color, nature with all its imperfections - that should be the challenge to the modern painter not the didactic idealization of the past. The new generation should forge a new path.
Charles Baudelaire
My soul travels on the smell of perfume like the souls of other men on music.
Charles Baudelaire
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Charles Baudelaire
The world only goes round by misunderstanding.
Charles Baudelaire
The habit of doing one's duty drives away fear.
Charles Baudelaire
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
Charles Baudelaire
Comme l'imagination a cre e le monde, elle le gouverne. Because imagination created the world, it governs it.
Charles Baudelaire
A friend of mine, the most innocuous dreamer who ever lived, once set a forest on fire to see, as he said, if it would catch as easily as people said. The first ten times the experiment was a failure but on the eleventh it succeeded all too well.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.
Charles Baudelaire
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Charles Baudelaire
Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject, nor exact truth, but in the way of feeling.
Charles Baudelaire
Drink wine, drink poetry, drink virtue.
Charles Baudelaire
Alas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of man's longing for the infinite but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.
Charles Baudelaire
The more delicate and ambitious the soul, the further do dreams estrange it from possible things.
Charles Baudelaire
The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries out in terror before he is defeated.
Charles Baudelaire
Ne cherchez plus mon coeur les be tes l'ont mange . Don't search any further for my heart wild beasts ate it.
Charles Baudelaire
