More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Blessed art Thou, Lord, who giveth suffering As a divine remedy for our impurities.
Charles Baudelaire
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.
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
Today I felt pass over me A breath of wind from the wings of madness.
Charles Baudelaire
Where ever I am not is the place where I am myself.
Charles Baudelaire
Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country.
Charles Baudelaire
Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.
Charles Baudelaire
It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.
Charles Baudelaire
It would be difficult for me not to conclude that the most perfect type of masculine beauty is Satan, as portrayed by Milton.
Charles Baudelaire
One can only forget about time by making use of it.
Charles Baudelaire
The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.
Charles Baudelaire
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire
If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.
Charles Baudelaire
When it meows, one scarcely hears it... It has not the need of words to speak the lengthiest phraseologies.
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 life of our city is rich in poetic and marvelous subjects. We are enveloped and steeped as though in an atmosphere of the marvelous but we do not notice it.
Charles Baudelaire
Always be a poet, even in prose.
Charles Baudelaire
Unable to suppress love, the Church wanted at least to disinfect it, and it created marriage.
Charles Baudelaire
The Devil pulls the strings which make us dance We find delight in the most loathsome things Some furtherance of Hell each new day brings, And yet we feel no horror in that rank advance.
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire
