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
There is By my leaning over the precipice Of your presence and your absence in hopeless fusion My finding the secret Of loving you Always for the first time
Andre Breton
Image
I insist on knowing the names, on being interested only in books left ajar, like doors I will not go looking for keys.
Andre Breton
Image
Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.
Andre Breton
Image
Past and future monopolize the poet’s sensory and intellectual faculties, detached from the immediate spectacle. These two philtres become utterly clear the moment one stops being hypnotized by the cloudy precipitate constituted by the world of today.
Andre Breton
Image
Under his (Marc Chagall, ed.) sole impulse metaphor made its triumphal entry into modern painting.
