More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
If the poet has pursued a moral objective, he has diminished his poetic force.
Charles Baudelaire
We love women in proportion to their degree of strangeness to us.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no such thing as a long piece of work, except one that you dare not start.
Charles Baudelaire
One can only forget about time by making use of it.
Charles Baudelaire
There is a word, in a verb, something sacred which forbids us from using it recklessly. To handle a language cunningly is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.
Charles Baudelaire
The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself and others, as he wishes.
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
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
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
In this horror of solitude, this need to lose his ego in exterior flesh, which man calls grandly the need for love.
Charles Baudelaire
This industry [photography], by invading the territories of art, has become art's most mortal enemy.
Charles Baudelaire
When it meows, one scarcely hears it... It has not the need of words to speak the lengthiest phraseologies.
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
To glorify the cult of images (my great, my only, my earliest passion).
Charles Baudelaire
To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.
Charles Baudelaire
Like those great sphinxes lounging through eternity in noble attitudes upon the desert sand, they gaze incuriously at nothing, calm and wise.
Charles Baudelaire
Beware of all the paradoxical in love. It is simplicity which saves, it is simplicity which brings happiness...Love should be love.
Charles Baudelaire
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Charles Baudelaire
An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.
Charles Baudelaire
Unable to do away with love, the Church found a way to decontaminate it by creating marriage.
Charles Baudelaire
