Charles BaudelaireAlas! Man's vices, horrible as they are supposed to be, contain the positive proof of his taste for the infinite.
Charles BaudelaireBeware of all the paradoxical in love. It is simplicity which saves, it is simplicity which brings happiness...Love should be love.
Charles BaudelaireAlas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of man's longing for the infinite; but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.
