Andre Breton
Image

Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton
Image
The simplest act of surrealism is to walk out into the street, gun in hand, and shoot at random.

I am the soul in limbo.
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
