More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything that is beautiful and noble is the product of reason and calculation.
Charles Baudelaire
In the domain of painting and statuary, the present-day credo of the worldly wise, especially in France, is this: ... I believe that art is, and can only be, the exact reproduction of nature... An avenging God has heard the prayers of this multitude Daguerre was his messiah.
Charles Baudelaire
Strangeness is the indispensable condiment of all beauty.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
We are all born marked for evil.
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.

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Two fundamental literary qualities: supernaturalism and irony.
Charles Baudelaire
On the day when a young writer corrects his first proof-sheet he is as proud as a schoolboy who has just got his first dose of pox.
Charles Baudelaire
What men call love is a very small, restricted, feeble thing compared with this ineffable orgy, this divine prostitution of the soul giving itself entire, all its poetry and all its charity, to the unexpected as it comes along, to the stranger as he passes.
Charles Baudelaire
The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself and others, as he wishes.
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
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
Charles Baudelaire
Life is a hospital in which every patient is possessed by a desire to change his bed.
Charles Baudelaire
Drink wine, drink poetry, drink virtue.
Charles Baudelaire
Even when she walks one would believe that she dances.
Charles Baudelaire
