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

“Always be a poet, even in prose.”

“It's time, Old Captain, lift anchor, sink!”

“Il était tard; ainsi qu'une médaille neuve”

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

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

“L'étude du beau est un duel où l'artiste crie de frayeur avant d'être vaincu.”

“My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.”

“She lives in the poetry she cannot write.”

“She had blue skin. And so did he. He kept it hid, And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by - And never knew.”

“True recognition resonates...”

“It is not what they built. It is what they knocked down.”

“The profoundest of all sensualities”
