There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
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
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
Image
I find it impossible to think of a picture save as a window, and my first concern about a window is to find out what it looks out on... and there is nothing I love so much as something which stretches away from me out of sight.
Andre Breton
Image
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
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.
Andre Breton
Image
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
Image
Trust in the inexhaustible character of the murmur.
Andre Breton
Image
I maintain that anyone who still refuses to see, for instance, a horse galloping on a tomato, must be an idiot. A tomato is also a child's balloon - Surrealism, again, having suppressed the word like.

...with the end of my breath, which is the beginning of yours.
Andre Breton
Image
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
Andre Breton
Image
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
Andre Breton
Image
Every time you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you're settling.
Andre Breton
Image
The purest surrealist act is walking into a crowd with a loaded gun and firing into it randomly
Andre Breton
Image
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
Image
How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.
Andre Breton
Image
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
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

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