It is this admirable and immortal instinct for beauty which causes us to regard the earth and its spectacles as a glimpse, a correspondence of the beyond (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
The idea which man forms of beauty imprints itself throughout his attire, rumples or stiffens his garments, rounds off or aligns his gestures, and, finally, even subtly penetrates the features of his face (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)

That in all times, mediocrity has dominated, that is indubitable; but that it reigns more than ever, that it is becoming absolutely triumphant and inhibiting, this is what is as true as it is distressing (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
In certain almost supernatural states of the soul, the profundity of life reveals itself entirely in the spectacle, however ordinary it may be, before one’s eyes. It becomes its symbol (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)

For each letter received from a creditor, write fifty lines on an extraterrestrial subject and you will be saved (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder of disgust (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men (Charles Baudelaire Quotes)
