Charles Baudelaire
By nature, by necessity itself, [primitive man] is encyclopedic, while civilized man finds himself confined in the infinitely small regions of specialization.
Charles Baudelaire
Ne cherchez plus mon coeur les be tes l'ont mange . Don't search any further for my heart wild beasts ate it.

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. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.
Charles Baudelaire
Through the Unknown, we'll find the New
Charles Baudelaire
The form of a town changes more swiftly alas! Than the heart of a mortal.
Charles Baudelaire
The more delicate and ambitious the soul, the further do dreams estrange it from possible things.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it's destiny good is always the product of skill.
Charles Baudelaire
Discover day to day excitement.
