More From Charles Baudelaire
- "It is the hour to be drunken! to escape being the martyred slaves of time, be ceaselessly drunk. On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish."
- "Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place."
- "Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself."

- "Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them."― Paul Hawken
