Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
Charles Baudelaire
Amer savoir, celui qu'on tire du voyage! Bitter is the knowledge gained in travelling.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no such thing as a long piece of work, except one that you dare not start.
Charles Baudelaire
Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows, and all of summer's stunning afternoons will be gone. I already hear the dead thuds of logs below falling on the cobblestones and the lawn.
Charles Baudelaire
In our corruption we perceive beauties unrevealed to ancient times.
Charles Baudelaire
The habit of doing one's duty drives away fear.
Charles Baudelaire
