More quotes by 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
To glorify the cult of images (my great, my only, my earliest passion).
Charles Baudelaire
I will drop into your chest like a vegetal ambrosia. I will be the grain that regenerates the cruelly plowed furrow. Poetry will be born of our intimate union. A god we shall create together, and we shall soar heavenward like sunbeams, perfumes, butterflies, birds, and all winged things.
Charles Baudelaire
You walk on corpses, beauty, undismayed.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
The People adore authority.
Charles Baudelaire
I sit in the sky like a sphinx misunderstood My heart of snow is wed to the whiteness of swans I hate the movement that displaces the rigid lines, With lips untaught neither tears nor laughter do I know.
Charles Baudelaire
To the solemn graves, near a lonely cemetery, my heart like a muffled drum is beating funeral marches.
Charles Baudelaire
That in all times, mediocrity has dominated, that is indubitable but that it reigns more than ever, that it is becoming absolutely triumphant and inhibiting, this is what is as true as it is distressing.
Charles Baudelaire
Even as a child I felt in my heart two opposite emotions: the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is the natural occupation of the man of leisure.
