Always be a poet, even in prose.
Charles Baudelaire
Evil comes up softly like a flower.
Charles Baudelaire
This industry [photography], by invading the territories of art, has become art's most mortal enemy.

Charles Baudelaire
It would be difficult for me not to conclude that the most perfect type of masculine beauty is Satan, as portrayed by Milton.

Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.
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 devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.
Charles Baudelaire
Love is the natural occupation of the man of leisure.
Charles Baudelaire
