More quotes by Andre Breton
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
Andre Breton
The purest surrealist act is walking into a crowd with a loaded gun and firing into it randomly
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
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
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
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
To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery --even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness --is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself. Imagination alone offers me some intimation of what can be.
Andre Breton
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
All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.
Andre Breton
Humor (is) the process that allows one to brush reality aside when it gets too distressing.
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
Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton
Words make love with one another.
Andre Breton
The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.
Andre Breton
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
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
How I loathe the servitude people try to hold up to me as being so valuable. I pity the man who is condemned to it, who cannot generally escape it, but it is not the burden of his labor that disposes me in his favor, it is - it can only be - the vigor of his protest against it.
Andre Breton
Dada is a state of mind.
Andre Breton
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.
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
