More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire
...an industry which can furnish results identical to nature must be the absolute in art.
Charles Baudelaire
That in all times, mediocrity has dominated, that is indubitable but that it reigns more than ever, that it is becoming absolutely triumphant and inhibiting, this is what is as true as it is distressing.
Charles Baudelaire
France at the dinner table in faraway places but here, among ourselves, in the family, let us face the facts: France is not poetic to tell the truth, she even feels a congenital horror of poetry. Among the writers who use verse, those whom she will always prefer are the most prosaic.
Charles Baudelaire
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no more steely barb than that of the Infinite.
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.

Ah! Seigneur! donnez-moi la force et le courage De contempler mon coeur et mon corps sans de go u t. Lord! give me the strength and the courage To see my heart and my body without disgust.
Charles Baudelaire
Remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire
The People adore authority.
Charles Baudelaire
I think I would be happy in that place I happen not to be, and this question of moving house is the subject of a perpetual dialogue I have with my soul.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.
Charles Baudelaire
Delacroix was passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible.
Charles Baudelaire
A silent mouth is sweet to hear.
Charles Baudelaire
An artist is only an artist on condition that he neglects no aspect of his dual nature. This dualism is the power of being oneself and someone else at one and the same time.
Charles Baudelaire
Il faut travailler sinon par go u t, au moins par de sespoir, puisque, tout bien ve rifie , travailler est moins ennuyeux que s'amuser. We should work: if not by preference, at least out of despair. All things considered, work is less boring than amusement.
Charles Baudelaire
If the poet has pursued a moral objective, he has diminished his poetic force.
Charles Baudelaire
