More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
The cannon thunders... limbs fly in all directions... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice... it's Humanity in search of happiness.
Charles Baudelaire
One can only forget about time by making use of it.
Charles Baudelaire
Alas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of man's longing for the infinite but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.
Charles Baudelaire
Comme l'imagination a cre e le monde, elle le gouverne. Because imagination created the world, it governs it.
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
I have cultivated my hysteria with delight and terror. Now I suffer continually from vertigo, and today, 23rd of January, 1862, I have received a singular warning, I have felt the wind of the wing of madness pass over me.
Charles Baudelaire
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire
Life is a hospital in which every patient is possessed by a desire to change his bed.
Charles Baudelaire
Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals.
Charles Baudelaire
A silent mouth is sweet to hear.
Charles Baudelaire
In our corruption we perceive beauties unrevealed to ancient times.
Charles Baudelaire
Always be drunk ... Get drunk militantly. Just get drunk.
Charles Baudelaire
What do I care if you are good? Be beautiful! and be sad!
Charles Baudelaire
Any man who does not accept the conditions of life sells his soul.
Charles Baudelaire
Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature?
Charles Baudelaire
Our squalid society rushed, Narcissus to a man, to gaze on its trivial image on a scrap of metal.
Charles Baudelaire
An artist is only an artist on condition that he neglects no aspect of his dual nature. This dualism is the power of being oneself and someone else at one and the same time.
Charles Baudelaire
With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
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
I am the wound and the knife! I am the slap and the cheek! I am the limbs and the rack, And the victim and the executioner! I am the vampire of my own heart.
Charles Baudelaire
