Arthur Rimbaud Quotes

The poet makes himself a voyant through a long, immense reasoned deranging of all his senses. All the forms of love, of suffering, of madness; he tries to find himself, he exhausts in himself all the poisons, to keep only their quintessences Picture Quote #1

What an old maid I’m getting to be. lacking the courage to be in love with death! Picture Quote #1

It is wrong to say: I think. One ought to say: I am thought. I is someone else Picture Quote #1

I don’t love women. Love has to be reinvented, we know that. The only thing women can ultimately imagine is security. Once they get that, love, beauty, everything else goes out the window. All they have left is cold disdain; that’s what marriages live on nowadays. Sometimes I see women who ought to be happy, with whom I could have found companionship, already swallowed up by brutes with as much feeling as an old log Picture Quote #1

Once, if I remember well, my life was a feast where all hearts opened and all wines flowed Picture Quote #1

I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own Picture Quote #1

I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance Picture Quote #1

Weakness or strength: you exist, that is strength. You don’t know where you are going or why you are going, go in everywhere, answer everyone. No one will kill you, any more than if you were a corpse Picture Quote #1

I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still Picture Quote #1

To whom shall I hire myself out? What beast should I adore? What holy image is attacked? What hearts shall I break? What lies shall I uphold? In what blood tread? Picture Quote #1

It began as research. I wrote of silences, of nights, I scribbled the indescribable. I tied down the vertigo Picture Quote #1

Now I am an outcast. I loathe my country. The best thing for me is a drunken sleep on the beach Picture Quote #1

Love... no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that’s not love. That’s stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn’t exist. Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain Picture Quote #1

I’m now making myself as scummy as I can. Why? I want to be a poet, and I’m working at turning myself into a seer. You won’t understand any of this, and I’m almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong and be a born poet. It’s really not my fault Picture Quote #1
