Quotes by Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud

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.

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

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