More quotes by Andre Breton

Image
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
Image
How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.
Andre Breton
Image
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.
Andre Breton
Image
Humor (is) the process that allows one to brush reality aside when it gets too distressing.
Andre Breton
Image
I insist on knowing the names, on being interested only in books left ajar, like doors I will not go looking for keys.
Andre Breton
Image
Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.
Andre Breton
Image
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
Andre Breton
Image
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.
Andre Breton
Image
May night continue to fall upon the orchestra
Andre Breton
Image
One can understand why Surrealism was not afraid to make for itself a tenet of total revolt, complete insubordination, of sabotage according to rule, and why it still expects nothing save from violence.
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
Andre Breton
Image
I find it impossible to think of a picture save as a window, and my first concern about a window is to find out what it looks out on... and there is nothing I love so much as something which stretches away from me out of sight.
Andre Breton
Image
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
Andre Breton
Image
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
