More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Genius is simply childhood, rediscovered by an act of will.
Charles Baudelaire
What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait.
Charles Baudelaire
Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject, nor exact truth, but in the way of feeling.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything, alas, is an abyss, actions, desires, dreams, words!
Charles Baudelaire
You walk on corpses, beauty, undismayed.
Charles Baudelaire
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.
Charles Baudelaire
However incoherent a human existence may be, human unity is not bothered by it.
Charles Baudelaire
To glorify the cult of images (my great, my only, my earliest passion).
Charles Baudelaire
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
When it meows, one scarcely hears it... It has not the need of words to speak the lengthiest phraseologies.
Charles Baudelaire
All the visible universe is nothing but a shop of images and signs.
Charles Baudelaire
As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work
Charles Baudelaire
Nations, like families, have great men only in spite of themselves. They do everything in their power not to have any. And therefore, the great man, in order to exist, must possess a force of attack which is greater than the force of resistance developed by millions of people.
Charles Baudelaire
In art, there is one thing which does not receive sufficient attention. The element which is left to the human will is not nearly so large as people think.
Charles Baudelaire
Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will.
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
The dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime. He should live and sleep in front of a mirror.
Charles Baudelaire
If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.
Charles Baudelaire
A friend of mine, the most innocuous dreamer who ever lived, once set a forest on fire to see, as he said, if it would catch as easily as people said. The first ten times the experiment was a failure but on the eleventh it succeeded all too well.
Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
