More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
A work of art should be like a well-planned crime.
Charles Baudelaire
As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning, . . . [then] they fall down the curtains.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no more steely barb than that of the Infinite.
Charles Baudelaire
I am the vampire at my own veins.
Charles Baudelaire
Color... thinks by itself, independently of the object it clothes.
Charles Baudelaire
There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior and the poet. To know, to kill and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practise what they call professions.
Charles Baudelaire
Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows, and all of summer's stunning afternoons will be gone. I already hear the dead thuds of logs below falling on the cobblestones and the lawn.
Charles Baudelaire
One must work, if not from inclination, at least out of despair — since it proves, on close examination, that work is less boring than amusing oneself.
Charles Baudelaire
I am bored in France because everyone resembles Voltaire.
Charles Baudelaire
A silent mouth is sweet to hear.
Charles Baudelaire
The world only goes round by misunderstanding.
Charles Baudelaire
Every healthy man can do without food for two days — but without poetry, never!
Charles Baudelaire
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Charles Baudelaire
...an industry which can furnish results identical to nature must be the absolute in art.
Charles Baudelaire
The form of a town changes more swiftly alas! Than the heart of a mortal.
Charles Baudelaire
To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.
Charles Baudelaire
I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.
Charles Baudelaire
Strangeness is the indispensable condiment of all beauty.
Charles Baudelaire
The will to work must dominate, for art is long and time is brief.
Charles Baudelaire
When it meows, one scarcely hears it... It has not the need of words to speak the lengthiest phraseologies.
Charles Baudelaire
