Additional quotes by Charles Baudelaire

I think there can be few examples of a life as dilapidated as mine.

Or poking through a house, in closets shut for years,
Full of the scent of time - acrid, musky, dank,
One comes, perhaps, upon a flask of memories
In whose escaping scent a soul returns to life.

- The Flask

As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.

Let us beware of common folk, common sense, sentiment, inspiration, and the obvious. - Charles Baudelaire
