More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
In our corruption we perceive beauties unrevealed to ancient times.
Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
Charles Baudelaire
The immense profundity of thought in vulgar locutions, like holes dug by generations of ants.
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
Oh, Creator! Can monsters exist in the sight of him who alone knows how they were invented, how they invented themselves, and how they might not have invented themselves?
Charles Baudelaire
Unable to suppress love, the Church wanted at least to disinfect it, and it created marriage.
Charles Baudelaire
He who looks through an open window sees fewer things than he who looks through a closed window.
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
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
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything for me becomes allegory
Charles Baudelaire
When a singer puts his hand on his heart, it means usually, I will always love you!
Charles Baudelaire
Art is an infinitely precious good, a draught both refreshing and cheering which restores the stomach and the mind to the natural equilibrium of the ideal.
Charles Baudelaire
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire
We are all born marked for evil.
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
I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.
Charles Baudelaire
If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it.
Charles Baudelaire
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.
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
