Additional quotes by Charles Baudelaire

All which is beautiful and noble is the result of reason and calculation.

Un artiste n'est un artiste que grâce à son sens exquis du beau, — sens qui lui procure des jouissances enivrantes, mais qui en même temps implique, enferme un sens également exquis de toute difformité et de toute disproportion.

Au-dessus des étangs, au-dessus des vallées,
Des montagnes, des bois, des nuages, des mers,
Par delà le soleil, par delà les éthers,
Par delà les confins des sphères étoilées

Everything that gives pleasure has its reason. To scorn the mobs of those who go astray is not the means to bring them around. - Charles Baudelaire
