Charles Baudelaire Quotes

"To say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words""The beautiful is always bizarre""Always be a poet, even in prose""A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors""To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery""In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates - and isolation brings its own reward"
