More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Delacroix was passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything, alas, is an abyss, actions, desires, dreams, words!
Charles Baudelaire
If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.
Charles Baudelaire
What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters.
Charles Baudelaire
I think I would be happy in that place I happen not to be, and this question of moving house is the subject of a perpetual dialogue I have with my soul.
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
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
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
Color... thinks by itself, independently of the object it clothes.
Charles Baudelaire
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything that is beautiful and noble is the product of reason and calculation.
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
Doubt, or the absence of faith and naivete, is a vice peculiar to this age, for no one is obedient nowadays and naivete, which means the dominance of temperament in the manner, is a gift from God, possessed by very few.
Charles Baudelaire
Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature?
Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.
Charles Baudelaire
Photographers, you will never become artists. All you are is mere copiers.
Charles Baudelaire
Everything for me becomes allegory
Charles Baudelaire
The immense profundity of thought in vulgar locutions, like holes dug by generations of ants.
Charles Baudelaire
