More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
Charles Baudelaire
I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.
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
The world only goes round by misunderstanding.
Charles Baudelaire
Any man who does not accept the conditions of life sells his soul.
Charles Baudelaire
Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
One can only forget about time by making use of it.
Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
In the domain of painting and statuary, the present-day credo of the worldly wise, especially in France, is this: ... I believe that art is, and can only be, the exact reproduction of nature... An avenging God has heard the prayers of this multitude Daguerre was his messiah.
Charles Baudelaire
I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old.
Charles Baudelaire
How bittersweet it is, on winter's night, To listen, by the sputtering, smoking fire, As distant memories, through the fog-dimmed light, Rise, to the muffled chime of churchbell choir.
Charles Baudelaire
Finer than any sand are dusts of gold that gleam, Vague starpoints, in the mystic iris of their eyes.
Charles Baudelaire
We are all born marked for evil.
Charles Baudelaire
Artist should look at the reality and brutality of modern life in all its color, nature with all its imperfections - that should be the challenge to the modern painter not the didactic idealization of the past. The new generation should forge a new path.
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
Life swarms with innocent monsters.
Charles Baudelaire
I am the vampire at my own veins.
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
With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries out in terror before he is defeated.
Charles Baudelaire
