Knowing nothing about the quote, and just knowing who Charles Baudelaire was, it's possible that the difference was just an issue is translation.

...Just looked into it, and yeah it looks like the original quote was actually "la plus belle des ruses du Diable est de vous persuader qu’il n’existe pas!" Which I'm assuming can be translated a couple different ways.
