Quotes

Nothing in nature now remains unblooded. I used to hope that wine could bring me ease, Could lull asleep my deeply gnawing mind. I was a fool: the senses clear with wine. I looked to Love to cure my old disease. Love led me to a thicket of IVsWhere bristling needles thirsted for each vein. Charles Baudelaire
Delacroix was passionately in love with passion... The man himself was an intense passion, supported by a formidable will power. He used to say constantly: 'Since I consider the impression transmitted to the artist by nature as the most important thing to translate, is it not necessary that he be armed in advance with all the speediest means of translation?' Charles Baudelaire
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
I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial. Charles Baudelaire

Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances. Charles Baudelaire
Nature is a temple, where the living. Columns sometimes breathe confusing speech; Man walks within these groves of symbols, each. Of which regards him as a kindred thing. Charles Baudelaire
To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world—impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito. Charles Baudelaire
Charles Baudelaire quote: "I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow..."
I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow and the trees painted blue. Nature has no imagination. Charles Baudelaire
Charles Baudelaire quote: "Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating..."
Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature? Charles Baudelaire
If a poet demanded from the State the right to have a few bourgeois in his stable, people would be very much astonished, but if a bourgeois asked for some roast poet, people would think it quite natural. Charles Baudelaire
Charles Baudelaire quote: "Nature is a word, an allegory, a mold, an embossing, if you will."
Nature is a word, an allegory, a mold, an embossing, if you will. Charles Baudelaire
