Charles Baudelaire quotes on love

17. 'En toi je tomberai, vegetale ambroisie, Grain precieux jete par l'eternel Semeur, Pour que de notre amour naisse la poesie Qui jaillira vers Dieu comme une rare fleur!'

44. Ne pouvant supprimer l'amour, l'Eglise a voulu au moins le desinfecter, et elle a fait le mariage.

53. L'amour ressemblait fort a une torture ou a une operation chirurgicale.

66. Delacroix, Wagner, Baudelaire - all great theorists, bent on dominating other minds by sensuous means. Their one dream was to create the irresistible effect - to intoxicate, or overwhelm. They looked to analysis to provide them with the keyboard on which to play, with certainty, on man's emotions, and they sought in abstract meditation they key to sure and certain action upon their subject - man's nervous and psychic being.
