I could spend my whole life prying loose the secrets of the insane. These people are honest to a fault, and their naivety has no peer but my own.
Andre Breton
Image
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
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
Words have finished flirting. Now they are making love.
Andre Breton
Image
When will the arbitrary be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?
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
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
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
Image
I am the soul in limbo.
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
Every time you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you're settling.
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.
