Image
At the outset, it is only liking, not understanding, that matters. Gaps in understanding ... are not only important, they are perhaps even welcome, like clearings in the woods, the better to allow the heart's rays to stream out without obstacle. The unlit shadows should remain obscure, which is the very condition of enchantment.
Andre Breton
Image
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.
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
I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man...is above all the plaything of his memory.
Andre Breton
Image
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.

Image
I love you on the surface of seas Red like the egg when it is green
Andre Breton
Image
It is the whole modern concept of love which should be re-examined, such as is commonly but transparently expressed in phrases like 'love at first sight' and 'honeymoon'. All this shoddy terminology is on top of that tainted with the most reactionary irony.
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
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
Words have finished flirting. Now they are making love.
Andre Breton
Image
For me, the single word God suggests everything that is slippery, shady, squalid, foul, and grotesque.
Andre Breton
Image
Dada is a state of mind.
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
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.
Andre Breton
Image
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.
Andre Breton
Image
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
Andre Breton
Image
How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.
Andre Breton
Image
The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.
Andre Breton
Image
The important thing is that man is lost in time, in the moment that immediately precedes him - which only attests, by reflection, to the fact that he is lost in the moment that follows

Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject.
