Additional quotes by Charles Baudelaire

The Revolution had been made by voluptuaries.

Free man, you will always cherish the sea! The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul In the infinite unrolling of its billows; Your mind is an abyss that is no less bitter.

The soul is a thing so impalpable, so often useless and sometimes so embarrassing that I suffered, upon losing it, a little less emotion than if I had mislaid, while out on a stroll, my calling-card.

So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, be endlessly drunk. - Charles Baudelaire
