More quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
The habit of doing one's duty drives away fear.
Charles Baudelaire
One must work, if not from inclination, at least out of despair — since it proves, on close examination, that work is less boring than amusing oneself.
Charles Baudelaire
And, drunk with my own madness, I shouted at him furiously, Make life beautiful! Make life beautiful!
Charles Baudelaire
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
What do I care if you are good? Be beautiful! and be sad!
Charles Baudelaire
In our corruption we perceive beauties unrevealed to ancient times.
Charles Baudelaire
You walk on corpses, beauty, undismayed.
Charles Baudelaire
