More quotes by Andre Breton
If surrealism ever comes to adopt a particular line of moral conduct, it has only to accept the discipline that Picasso has accepted and will continue to accept.
Andre Breton
Past and future monopolize the poet’s sensory and intellectual faculties, detached from the immediate spectacle. These two philtres become utterly clear the moment one stops being hypnotized by the cloudy precipitate constituted by the world of today.
Andre Breton
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man...is above all the plaything of his memory.
Andre Breton
No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.
Andre Breton
The simplest act of surrealism is to walk out into the street, gun in hand, and shoot at random.
Andre Breton
The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.
Andre Breton
Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads.
Andre Breton
Let us not mince words: the marvelous is always beautiful, anything marvelous is beautiful, in fact only the marvelous is beautiful.
Andre Breton
The eye is not open when it is limited to the passive role of a mirror... if it has only the capacity to reflect.
Andre Breton
It is more or less a given that nothing is less favorable to clairvoyance than the bright sun: physical light and mental light coexist on very poor terms.
Andre Breton
At the word witch, we imagine the horrible old crones from Macbeth. But the cruel trials witches suffered teach us the opposite. Many perished precisely because they were young and beautiful.
Andre Breton
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Andre Breton
Life’s greatest gift is the freedom it leaves you to step out of it whenever you choose.
Andre Breton
Surrealism will usher you into death, which is a secret society. It will glove your hand, burying therein the profound M with which the word Memory begins.
Andre Breton
Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express - verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner - the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern.
Andre Breton
There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
Andre Breton
Surrealism is based on the belief in the omnipotence of dreams, in the undirected play of thought.
Andre Breton
Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton
If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.
Andre Breton
