Image
Surrealism is based on the belief in the omnipotence of dreams, in the undirected play of thought.
Andre Breton
Image
Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.
Andre Breton
Image
I believe in the pure Surrealist joy of the man who, forewarned that all others before him have failed, refused to admit defeat, sets off from watever point he chooses, along any other pat save a reasonable one, and arrives wherever he can.
Andre Breton
Image
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Andre Breton
Image
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.

May night continue to fall upon the orchestra
Andre Breton
Image
Surrealism does not allow those who devote themselves to it to forsake it whenever they like. There is every reason to believe that it acts on the mind very much as drugs do like drugs, it creates a certain state of need and can push man to frightful revolts.
Andre Breton
Image
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Andre Breton
Image
It will in the end, be admitted that everything, in effect is an image and that the least object which has no symbolic role assigned to it is capable of standing for absolutely anything.
Andre Breton
Image
Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads.
Andre Breton
Image
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
Image
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
Image
...with the end of my breath, which is the beginning of yours.
Andre Breton
Image
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
Andre Breton
Image
At the word witch, we imagine the horrible old crones from Macbeth. But the cruel trials witches suffered teach us the opposite. Many perished precisely because they were young and beautiful.
Andre Breton
Image
Life’s greatest gift is the freedom it leaves you to step out of it whenever you choose.
Andre Breton
Image
If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.
Andre Breton
Image
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
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
Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which it is intended to express, whether verbally or in writing, or in any other way, the real process of thought. Thought's dictation, free from any control by the reason, independent of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation.
