God Quote by Charles Baudelaire — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Always be a poet, even in prose.”

“I walk alone, absorbed in my fantastic play, —”

“Relate comic things in pompous fashion. Irregularity, in other words the unexpected, the surprising, the astonishing, are essential to and characteristic of beauty. Two fundamental literary qualities: supernaturalism and irony. The blend of the grotesque and the tragic are attractive to the mind, as is discord to blasé ears. Imagine a canvas for a lyrical, magical farce, for a pantomime, and translate it into a serious novel. Drown the whole thing in an abnormal, dreamy atmosphere, in the atmosphere of great days … the region of pure poetry.”

“My love, do you recall the object which we saw,”

“And, drunk with my own madness, I shouted at him furiously, "Make life beautiful! Make life beautiful!”

“Imagination is the queen of truth, and possibility is one of the regions of truth. She is positively akin to infinity.”

“In monasteries, seminaries, retreats and synagogues, they fear hell and seek paradise. Those who know the mysteries of God never let that seed be planted in their souls.”

“Between world and animal are fewer questions than between man and world. How many such questions are there in God's Word?”

“I am thankful that there are those among us who have sacrificed dearly on behalf of us. And I ardently pray to God that I might be less like myself and more like them.”

“God wanted to make heaven and the earth is that heaven. Nowhere in the universe there is so much love, life, beauty and peace. Enjoy your stay with the fellow beings.”

“You may have been wailing, but you can still access victory when you believe in the Lord Almighty.”

“I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
