Andre Breton
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
Andre Breton
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
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
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.
Andre Breton
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.

Andre Breton

Andre Breton
Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject.
Andre Breton
Let us not mince words: the marvelous is always beautiful, anything marvelous is beautiful, in fact only the marvelous is beautiful.
Andre Breton
I find it impossible to think of a picture save as a window, and my first concern about a window is to find out what it looks out on... and there is nothing I love so much as something which stretches away from me out of sight.
Andre Breton
There is no use being alive if one must work. The event from which each of us is entitled to expect the revelation of his own life’s meaning - that event which I may not yet have found, but on whose path I seek myself - is not earned by work.
Andre Breton
Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.
Andre Breton
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
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
Andre Breton
