There are women who inspire you with the desire to conquer them and to take your pleasure of them; but this one fills you only with the desire to die slowly beneath her gaze.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

I am the wound and the knife!...

I am the wound and the knife! I am the slap and the cheek! I am the limbs and the rack, And the victim and the executioner! I am the vampire of my own heart.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

I will drop into your chest like a vegetal ambrosia. I will be the grain that regenerates the cruelly plowed furrow. Poetry will be born of our intimate union. A god we shall create together, and we shall soar heavenward like sunbeams, perfumes, butterflies, birds, and all winged things.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

It is the pleasure of astonishing others, and the proud satisfaction of never being astonished by them.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

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!

Within the bottle's depths, the wine's soul sang one night. Drink wine, drink poetry, drink virtue.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Good sense tells us that eart...

Good sense tells us that earthly things are rare and fleeting, and that true reality exists only in dreams. To draw sustenance from happiness- natural or artificial - you must first have the courage to swallow it; and those who perhaps most merit happiness are precisely those on whom felicity, as mortals conceive it, always acts as a vomitive.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

He possessed the logic of all...

He possessed the logic of all good intentions and a knowledge of all the tricks of his trade, and yet he never succeeded at anything, because he believed too much in the impossible. Surprising? Why so? He was forever in the act of conceiving it!

I am a cemetery abhorred by the moon, In which long worms crawl like remorse.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.

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

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

I love to watch the fine mist...

I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on, The windows and the stars illumined, one by one, The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily, And the moon rise and turn them silver. I shall see The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass; And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass, I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight, And build me stately palaces by candlelight.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

...and the lamp having at las...

...and the lamp having at last resigned itself to death. There was nothing now but firelight in the room, And every time a flame uttered a gasp for breath It flushed her amber skin with the blood of its bloom.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Always be drunk ... Get drunk...

Always be drunk ... Get drunk militantly. Just get drunk.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The immense appetite we have ...

The immense appetite we have for biography comes from a deep-seated sense of equality.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The insatiable thirst for everything that lies beyond, and that life reveals, is the most living proof of our immortality.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

When a singer puts his hand on his heart, it means usually, I will always love you!

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

I have cultivated my hysteria...

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 461 quotes

There are but three beings wo...

There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior and the poet. To know, to kill and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practise what they call professions.
