Charles Baudelaire Imagination Quotations

Comme l'imagination a cre e le monde, elle le gouverne. Because imagination created the world, it governs it.

L'imagination est la reine du vrai, et le possible est une des provinces du vrai. Imagination is the queen of the truth and the possible is one of the provinces of the truth.

Imagination is the queen of truth, and possibility is one of the regions of truth. She is positively akin to infinity.

What a mysterious faculty is that queen of the faculties!

The whole visible universe is but a storehouse of images and signs to which the imagination will give a relative place and value; it is a sort of pasture which the imagination must digest and transform.

Inspiration comes of working every day.

Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.
