Rimbaud

Famous quotes containing the word rimbaud:

    Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)

    I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an ennervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)

    The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, and keeps only their quintessences.
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)
