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.

More quotes by Andre Breton
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
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.
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
Words have finished flirting. Now they are making love.
Andre Breton
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.
Andre Breton
I am the soul in limbo.
Andre Breton
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
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.
Andre Breton
There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
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
Let us not mince words: the marvelous is always beautiful, anything marvelous is beautiful, in fact only the marvelous is beautiful.
Andre Breton
Dada is a state of mind.
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
What one hides is worth neither more nor less than what one finds. And what one hides from oneself is worth neither more nor less than what one allows others to find.
Andre Breton
The eye is not open when it is limited to the passive role of a mirror... if it has only the capacity to reflect.
Andre Breton
The imaginary is what tends to become real.
Andre Breton
Words make love with one another.
Andre Breton
Artistic imagination must remain free. It is by definition free from any fidelity to circumstances, especially to the intoxicating circumstances of history.
Andre Breton
The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.
Andre Breton
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
