How I loathe the servitude people try to hold up to me as being so valuable. I pity the man who is condemned to it, who cannot generally escape it, but it is not the burden of his labor that disposes me in his favor, it is - it can only be - the vigor of his protest against it.

The purest surrealist act is walking into a crowd with a loaded gun and firing into it randomly
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
Surrealism does not allow those who devote themselves to it to forsake it whenever they like. There is every reason to believe that it acts on the mind very much as drugs do like drugs, it creates a certain state of need and can push man to frightful revolts.

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.

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.

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

Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
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
Image
All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.
Andre Breton
Image
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
Andre Breton
Image
For me, the single word God suggests everything that is slippery, shady, squalid, foul, and grotesque.
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.

Image
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
Image
Trust in the inexhaustible character of the murmur.
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
