More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Always be a poet, even in prose.
Charles Baudelaire
An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.
Charles Baudelaire
I have cultivated my hysteria with delight and terror. Now I suffer continually from vertigo, and today, 23rd of January, 1862, I have received a singular warning, I have felt the wind of the wing of madness pass over me.
Charles Baudelaire
Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.
Charles Baudelaire
To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.
Charles Baudelaire
If the poet has pursued a moral objective, he has diminished his poetic force.
Charles Baudelaire
Even when she walks one would believe that she dances.
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 dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime. He should live and sleep in front of a mirror.
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
You walk on corpses, beauty, undismayed.
Charles Baudelaire
As a remedy against all ills - poverty, sickness, and melancholy - only one thing is absolutely necessary: a liking for work
Charles Baudelaire
Progress, this great heresy of decay.
Charles Baudelaire
There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.
Charles Baudelaire
The will to work must dominate, for art is long and time is brief.
Charles Baudelaire
I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old.
Charles Baudelaire
Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals.
Charles Baudelaire
Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will.
Charles Baudelaire
There is a certain cowardice, a certain weakness, rather, among respectable folk. Only brigands are convinced-of what? That they must succeed. And so they do succeed.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it's destiny good is always the product of skill.
Charles Baudelaire
