Additional quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Almost all our evils arise from being unable to stay in our rooms,” said another sage, Pascal.

(“Yanılmıyorsam Pascal, ‘neredeyse tüm mutsuzluklarımız odamızda kalmayı bilememiş olmamızdan geliyor başımıza’ der”)

Richness, quietness, and pleasure.

Genius is childhood recovered at will.
