More quotes by 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
The important thing is that man is lost in time, in the moment that immediately precedes him - which only attests, by reflection, to the fact that he is lost in the moment that follows
Andre Breton
The lamentable expression: 'But it was only a dream, the increasing use of which - among others in the domain of the cinema - has contributed not a little to encourage such hypocrisy, has for a long while ceased to merit discussion.
Andre Breton
Every time you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you're settling.
Andre Breton
The simplest act of surrealism is to walk out into the street, gun in hand, and shoot at random.
Andre Breton
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
Andre Breton
Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dreams, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principle problems of life.
Andre Breton
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
Trust in the inexhaustible character of the murmur.
Andre Breton
I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak.
Andre Breton
Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.
Andre Breton
I myself shall continue living in my glass house where you can always see who comes to call, where everything hanging from the the ceiling and on the walls stays where it is as if by magic, where I sleep nights in a glass bed, under glass sheets, where who I am will sooner or later appear etched by a diamond.
Andre Breton
A work of art has value only if tremors of the future run through it.
Andre Breton
I am the soul in limbo.
Andre Breton
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything.
Andre Breton
How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.
Andre Breton
There is By my leaning over the precipice Of your presence and your absence in hopeless fusion My finding the secret Of loving you Always for the first time
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
Surrealism is based on the belief in the omnipotence of dreams, in the undirected play of thought.
Andre Breton
It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and why my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.
Andre Breton
