More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
The vices of man, as full of horror as one might suppose them to be, contain the proof (if in nothing else but their infinitely expandable nature) of his taste for the infinite only, it is a taste that often takes a wrong turn.
Charles Baudelaire
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Charles Baudelaire
Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
Hashish will be, indeed, for the impressions and familiar thoughts of the man, a mirror which magnifies, yet no more than a mirror.
Charles Baudelaire
Drink wine, drink poetry, drink virtue.
Charles Baudelaire
And, drunk with my own madness, I shouted at him furiously, Make life beautiful! Make life beautiful!
Charles Baudelaire
Blessed art Thou, Lord, who giveth suffering As a divine remedy for our impurities.
Charles Baudelaire
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
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
The beautiful is always bizarre.
Charles Baudelaire
It is good sometimes that the happy of this world should learn, were it only to humble their foolish pride for an instant, that there are higher, wider, and rarer joys than theirs.
Charles Baudelaire
Art is an infinitely precious good, a draught both refreshing and cheering which restores the stomach and the mind to the natural equilibrium of the ideal.
Charles Baudelaire
What I say is that the supreme and singular joy of making love resides in the certainty of doing evil.
Charles Baudelaire
France at the dinner table in faraway places but here, among ourselves, in the family, let us face the facts: France is not poetic to tell the truth, she even feels a congenital horror of poetry. Among the writers who use verse, those whom she will always prefer are the most prosaic.
Charles Baudelaire
An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.
Charles Baudelaire
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Charles Baudelaire
The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries out in terror before he is defeated.
Charles Baudelaire
But the true voyagers are only those who leave Just to be leaving hearts light, like balloons, They never turn aside from their fatality And without knowing why they always say: Let's go!
Charles Baudelaire
Ah! Seigneur! donnez-moi la force et le courage De contempler mon coeur et mon corps sans de go u t. Lord! give me the strength and the courage To see my heart and my body without disgust.
Charles Baudelaire
Color... thinks by itself, independently of the object it clothes.
Charles Baudelaire
