More quotes by Andre Breton

Image
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.
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
It will in the end, be admitted that everything, in effect is an image and that the least object which has no symbolic role assigned to it is capable of standing for absolutely anything.
Andre Breton
Image
Artistic imagination must remain free. It is by definition free from any fidelity to circumstances, especially to the intoxicating circumstances of history.
Andre Breton
Image
I could spend my whole life prying loose the secrets of the insane. These people are honest to a fault, and their naivety has no peer but my own.
Andre Breton
Image
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
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
How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.
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
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
Image
For me, the single word God suggests everything that is slippery, shady, squalid, foul, and grotesque.
Andre Breton
Image
Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject.
Andre Breton
Image
The simplest act of surrealism is to walk out into the street, gun in hand, and shoot at random.
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
Every time you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you're settling.
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
I believe in the pure Surrealist joy of the man who, forewarned that all others before him have failed, refused to admit defeat, sets off from watever point he chooses, along any other pat save a reasonable one, and arrives wherever he can.
Andre Breton
Image
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
Andre Breton
Image
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
Andre Breton
Image
It was in the black mirror of anarchism that surrealism first recognised itself.
