Additional quotes by Arthur Rimbaud

One evening I sat Beauty on my knees – And I found her bitter – And I reviled her.

I came a fabulous opera. I saw that all beings have a fatality for happiness: action is not life, but a way of spending your strength, an irritation. Morality is a weakness of the brain.

Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry,
Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!
