More quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
If wine were to disappear from human production, I believe it would cause an absence, a failure in health and intellect, a void much more terrifying than all the recesses and the deviations for which wine is regarded as responsible.
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
Anybody, providing he knows how to be amusing, has the right to talk about himself.
Charles Baudelaire
What do I care if you are good? Be beautiful! and be sad!
Charles Baudelaire
All the visible universe is nothing but a shop of images and signs.
Charles Baudelaire
