More quotes by 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
From that moment onwards, our loathsome society rushed, like Narcissus, to contemplate its trivial image on a metallic plate. A form of lunacy, an extraordinary fanaticism took hold of these new sun-worshippers.
Charles Baudelaire
Here comes the time when, vibrating on its stem, every flower fumes like a censer noises and perfumes circle in the evening air.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything, alas, is an abyss, actions, desires, dreams, words!
Charles Baudelaire
Music fathoms the sky.
Charles Baudelaire
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
Charles Baudelaire
So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, be endlessly drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
Life is a hospital in which every patient is possessed by a desire to change his bed.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Even when she walks one would believe that she dances.
Charles Baudelaire
Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work
Charles Baudelaire
A work of art should be like a well-planned crime.
Charles Baudelaire
One can only forget about time by making use of it.
Charles Baudelaire
It is one of the prodigious privileges of art that the horrific, artistically expressed, becomes beauty, and that sorrow, given rhythm and cadence, fills the spirit with a calm joy.
Charles Baudelaire
Two fundamental literary qualities: supernaturalism and irony.
Charles Baudelaire
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire
For me, Romanticism is the most recent and the most current expression of beauty.
Charles Baudelaire
