To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.
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

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
Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton
Image

Andre Breton
Image
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.

I am the soul in limbo.
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
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
It is more or less a given that nothing is less favorable to clairvoyance than the bright sun: physical light and mental light coexist on very poor terms.
Andre Breton
Image
Trust in the inexhaustible character of the murmur.
Andre Breton
Image
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.
Andre Breton
Image
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.
Andre Breton
Image
My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
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
The mind, placed before any kind of difficulty, can find an ideal outlet in the absurd. Accommodation to the absurd readmits adults to the mysterious realm inhabited by children.
