"Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally; goodness is always the product of some art." ― Charles Baudelaire Topic(s): Art More From Charles Baudelaire "Even in the centuries which appear to us to be the most monstrous and foolish, the immortal appetite for beauty has always found satisfaction." "Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable." "It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk without stopping! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish." More In Art "All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual."― Honore de Balzac "He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion."― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art."― Ralph Waldo Emerson
