  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #2

    A thousand Dreams within me softly burn:
    From time to time my heart is like some oak
    Whose blood runs golden where a branch is torn.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #3

    Aucun des sophismes de la folie, - la folie qu'on enferme, - n'a été oublié par moi : je pourrais les redire tous, je tiens le système.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #7

    Elle est retrouvée!
    -Quoi? -l'Éternité.
    C'est la mer mêlée
    Au soleil.

    Je devins un opéra fabuleux : je vis que tous les êtres ont une fatalité de bonheur : l'action n'est pas la vie, mais une façon de gâcher quelque force, un énervement. La morale est la faiblesse du cerveau.
    À chaque être, plusieurs autres vies me semblaient dues. Ce monsieur ne sait pas ce qu'il fait : il est un ange.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #8

    Elle est retrouvée!
    Quoi? -l'Éternité.

    Avec le soleil.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #9

    I believe I am in Hell, therefore I am.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #10

    I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; Garlands from window to window; Golden chains from star to star ... And I dance.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #11

    I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #12

    I shed more tears than God could ever have required.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #13

    I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.

    In the great glasshouses streaming with condensation, the children in mourning-dress beheld marvels.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #15

    L'aube exalteé ainsi qu'un peuple de colombes, et j'ai vu quelquefois ce que l'homme a cru voir!

    (And dawn, exalted like a host of doves - and then I've seen what men believe they've seen!)

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #16

    Life is the farce we are all forced to endure.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #17

    Morality is the weakness of the mind.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #18

    My wisdom is as spurned as chaos. What is my nothingness, compared to the amazement that awaits you?

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #19

    No one's serious at seventeen,
    When lindens line the promenades

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #20

    O seasons, O castles,
    What soul is without flaws?
    All its lore is known to me,
    Felicity, it enchants us all.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #21

    Oh! Science! Everything has been revised. For the body and for the soul,--the viaticum,—there are medicine and philosophy,—old wives' remedies and popular songs rearranged. And the pastimes of princes and games they proscribed! Geography, cosmography, mechanics, chemistry!...

    Science, the new nobility! Progress. The world marches on! Why shouldn’t it turn?

    It is the vision of numbers. We are going toward the Spirit. There’s no doubt about it, an oracle, I tell you. I understand, and not knowing how to express myself without pagan words, I’d rather remain silent.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #22

    On the blue summer evenings, I will go along the paths,
    And walk over the short grass, as I am pricked by the wheat:
    Daydreaming I will feel the coolness on my feet.
    I will let the wind bathe my bare head. I will not speak,
    I will have no thoughts: But infinite love will mount in my soul;
    And I will go far, far off, like a gypsy,
    through the countryside - as happy as if I were a woman.

    Sensation

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #23

    Once, if my memory serves me well, my life was a banquet where every heart revealed itself, where every wine flowed.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #24

    Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #25

    The Poet makes himself a seer through a long, vast and painstaking derangement of all the senses

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #26

    The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire.
    He is responsible for humanity, for animals even; he will have to make sure his visions can be smelled, fondled, listened to; if what he brings back from beyond has form, he gives it form; if it has none, he gives it none. A language must be found…of the soul, for the soul and will include everything: perfumes, sounds colors, thought grappling with thought

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #27

    The same bourgeois magic everywhere the mail train sets you down.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #28

    True alchemy lies in this formula: ‘Your memory and your senses are but the nourishment of your creative impulse’.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #29

    Weakness or strength: there you are, strength. You do not know where you are going, nor why you are going; enter anywhere, reply to anything. They will no more kill you than if you were a corpse.” In the morning I had a look so lost, a face so dead, that perhaps those whom I met did not see me.

    In cities, suddenly, the mud seemed red and black like a mirror when the lamp moves about in the adjoining room, like a treasure in the forest! Good luck, I cried, and I saw a sea of flames and smoke in the sky; to the right, to the left all the riches of the world flaming like a billion thunder-bolts.

  • Arthur Rimbaud Quote #30

    Yes, my eyes are closed to your light. I am a beast, a nigger. But I can be saved. You are sham niggers, you, maniacs, fiends, misers. Merchant, you are a nigger; Judge, you are a nigger; General, you are a nigger; Emperor, old itch, you are a nigger: you have drank of the untaxed liquor of Satan’s still.
