Additional quotes by Charles Baudelaire

Am căutat uitarea-n iubire: ce folos!
Căci dragostea mi-e numai un pat cu spini, făcut
Să dea acestor fete cumplite de băut!

Regarding sleep, this sinister adventure of each night, one could say that people fall asleep daily with an audacity that would be incomprehensible if we didn't know that it results from their being oblivious of danger.

Folly, error, sin, avarice
Occupy our minds and labor our bodies,
And we feed our pleasant remorse
As beggars nourish their vermin.
