Charles Baudelaire
A man who drinks only water has a secret to hide from his fellow men.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Hashish will be, indeed, for the impressions and familiar thoughts of the man, a mirror which magnifies, yet no more than a mirror.
Charles Baudelaire
However incoherent a human existence may be, human unity is not bothered by it.
Charles Baudelaire
I sit in the sky like a sphinx misunderstood My heart of snow is wed to the whiteness of swans I hate the movement that displaces the rigid lines, With lips untaught neither tears nor laughter do I know.
Charles Baudelaire
The world only goes round by misunderstanding.
Charles Baudelaire
In art, there is one thing which does not receive sufficient attention. The element which is left to the human will is not nearly so large as people think.
Charles Baudelaire
Always be drunk ... Get drunk militantly. Just get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
Here comes the time when, vibrating on its stem, every flower fumes like a censer noises and perfumes circle in the evening air.
Charles Baudelaire
In this horror of solitude, this need to lose his ego in exterior flesh, which man calls grandly the need for love.
Charles Baudelaire
