More From Charles Baudelaire
- "Even if it were proven that God didn’t exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine."

- "I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial."
