The lamentable expression: 'But it was only a dream, the increasing use of which - among others in the domain of the cinema - has contributed not a little to encourage such hypocrisy, has for a long while ceased to merit discussion.

More quotes by Andre Breton
The imaginary is what tends to become real.
Andre Breton
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
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
Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dreams, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principle problems of life.
Andre Breton
A work of art has value only if tremors of the future run through it.
Andre Breton
There is no use being alive if one must work. The event from which each of us is entitled to expect the revelation of his own life’s meaning - that event which I may not yet have found, but on whose path I seek myself - is not earned by work.
Andre Breton
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything.
Andre Breton
The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.
Andre Breton
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
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
...with the end of my breath, which is the beginning of yours.
Andre Breton
My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
Andre Breton
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
Andre Breton
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject.
Andre Breton
No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.
Andre Breton
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
Andre Breton
When will the arbitrary be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?
Andre Breton
The simplest act of surrealism is to walk out into the street, gun in hand, and shoot at random.
Andre Breton
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
