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
To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery --even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness --is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself. Imagination alone offers me some intimation of what can be.
Andre Breton
Image
When will the arbitrary be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?
Andre Breton
Image
All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.
Andre Breton
Image
Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton

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
The purest surrealist act is walking into a crowd with a loaded gun and firing into it randomly
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
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

Dada is a state of mind.
Andre Breton
Image
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
Image
In the world we live in everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.
Andre Breton
Image
At the outset, it is only liking, not understanding, that matters. Gaps in understanding ... are not only important, they are perhaps even welcome, like clearings in the woods, the better to allow the heart's rays to stream out without obstacle. The unlit shadows should remain obscure, which is the very condition of enchantment.
Andre Breton
Image
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything.
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
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
Image
Who am I? If this once I were to rely on a proverb, then perhaps everything would amount to knowing whom I 'haunt.'
Andre Breton
Image
The simplest act of surrealism is to walk out into the street, gun in hand, and shoot at random.
Andre Breton

Words make love with one another.

The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.
