Charles Baudelaire
Doubt, or the absence of faith and naivete, is a vice peculiar to this age, for no one is obedient nowadays and naivete, which means the dominance of temperament in the manner, is a gift from God, possessed by very few.
Charles Baudelaire
As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work
Charles Baudelaire
Nothing can be done except little by little.
Charles Baudelaire
Delacroix was passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible.
Charles Baudelaire
