Unable to suppress love, the Church wanted at least to disinfect it, and it created marriage.

Extract the eternal from the ephemeral.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

From his soft fur, golden and ...

From his soft fur, golden and brown, Goes out so sweet a scent, one night I might have been embalmed in it By giving him one little pet. He is my household's guardian soul; He judges, he presides, inspires All matters in his royal realm; Might he be fairy? or a god? When my eyes, to this cat I love Drawn as by a magnet's force, Turn tamely back upon that appeal, And when I look within myself, I notice with astonishment The fire of his opal eyes, Clear beacons glowing, living jewels, Taking my measure, steadily.

Today I felt pass over me A breath of wind from the wings of madness.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country.

Evil comes up softly like a flower.

Happy is the man who can with vigorous wing Mount to those luminous serene fields! The man whose thoughts, like larks, Take liberated flight toward the morning skies --Who hovers over life and understands without effort The language of flowers and voiceless things!

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

It is good sometimes that the happy of this world should learn, were it only to humble their foolish pride for an instant, that there are higher, wider, and rarer joys than theirs.

Unable to do away with love, the Church found a way to decontaminate it by creating marriage.

The act of love strongly resembles torture or surgery.

What is love? The need of coming out of one's self.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Everything that gives pleasure...

Everything that gives pleasure has its reason. To scorn the mobs of those who go astray is not the means to bring them around.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

It is at once by way of poetry...

It is at once by way of poetry and through poetry, as with music, that the soul glimpses splendors from beyond the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings one's eyes to the point of tears, those tears are not evidence of an excess of joy, they are witness far more to an exacerbated melancholy, a disposition of the nerves, a nature exiled among imperfect things, which would like to possess, without delay, a paradise revealed on this very same earth.

The world progresses only through misunderstanding.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

What I have always found most ...

What I have always found most beautiful in the theatre, in my childhood, and still today, is lustre--a beautiful object, luminous, crystalline, complex, circular, symmetrical. However, I do not absolutely deny the value of dramatic literature. Only, I should like the actors to be mounted on high pattens, to wear masks more expressive than the human face, and to speak through megaphones.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Torture, as the art of discovering the truth, is barbaric nonsense; it is the application of a material means to a spiritual end.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

A man who from the beginning h...

A man who from the beginning has long been soaked in the languid atmosphere of a woman, the scent of her hands, her bosom, her knees, her hair, her lithe and flowing clothes ... has acquired a delicacy of skin, a refinement of tone, a kind of androgyny without which the toughest and most virile of geniuses remains, when it comes to artistic perfection, an incomplete being.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Immediate work, even poor, is worth more than dreams.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The more one works, the better one works, and the more one wants to work. The more one produces, the more fertile one grows.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The more delicate and ambitious the soul, the further do dreams estrange it from possible things.
