More quotes by Andre Breton
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.
Andre Breton
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
Andre Breton
It is the whole modern concept of love which should be re-examined, such as is commonly but transparently expressed in phrases like 'love at first sight' and 'honeymoon'. All this shoddy terminology is on top of that tainted with the most reactionary irony.
Andre Breton
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
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
The pure playfulness of certain wholly whimsical portions of (Charles) Cros’s work should not obscure the fact that at the center of some of his most beautiful poems a revolver is leveled straight at us.
Andre Breton
I am the soul in limbo.
Andre Breton
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
When will the arbitrary be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?
Andre Breton
The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.
Andre Breton
Life’s greatest gift is the freedom it leaves you to step out of it whenever you choose.
Andre Breton
Words make love with one another.
Andre Breton
Surrealism is based on the belief in the omnipotence of dreams, in the undirected play of thought.
Andre Breton
All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.
Andre Breton
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
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
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
Andre Breton
Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton
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.
