More quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
One can only forget about time by making use of it.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.
Charles Baudelaire
The dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime. He should live and sleep in front of a mirror.
Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
Charles Baudelaire
Always be drunk ... Get drunk militantly. Just get drunk.
