About this Quote

Charles Baudelaire's quote suggests that beauty is the only thing that matters when it comes to taste. He implies that charm needs to be the primary focus when making decisions about what is visually pleasing. This could be interpreted as a call to prioritize beauty over other considerations such as functionality or cost. It could also be viewed as a pointer to value the appeal worldwide around us, and to strive to create appeal in our own lives. Baudelaire's quote encourages us to acknowledge the importance of appeal and to make it our ambition to seek it out. By doing so, we can create a more beautiful world for ourselves and others.
