More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.
Charles Baudelaire
Artist should look at the reality and brutality of modern life in all its color, nature with all its imperfections - that should be the challenge to the modern painter not the didactic idealization of the past. The new generation should forge a new path.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything that is beautiful and noble is the product of reason and calculation.
Charles Baudelaire
This industry [photography], by invading the territories of art, has become art's most mortal enemy.
Charles Baudelaire
What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.
Charles Baudelaire
Music fathoms the sky.
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
I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.
Charles Baudelaire
Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place.
Charles Baudelaire
Remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
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
Unable to suppress love, the Church wanted at least to disinfect it, and it created marriage.
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
A silent mouth is sweet to hear.
Charles Baudelaire
We love women in proportion to their degree of strangeness to us.
Charles Baudelaire
