Charles Baudelaire
To glorify the cult of images (my great, my only, my earliest passion).

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
The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself and others, as he wishes.
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
The habit of doing one's duty drives away fear.
Charles Baudelaire
Unable to do away with love, the Church found a way to decontaminate it by creating marriage.
Charles Baudelaire
