More quotes by 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
Words make love with one another.
Andre Breton
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.
Andre Breton
Trust in the inexhaustible character of the murmur.
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
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
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
...with the end of my breath, which is the beginning of yours.
Andre Breton
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Andre Breton
One can understand why Surrealism was not afraid to make for itself a tenet of total revolt, complete insubordination, of sabotage according to rule, and why it still expects nothing save from violence.
Andre Breton
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak.
Andre Breton
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
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.
Andre Breton
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
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
Dada is a state of mind.
Andre Breton
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
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
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
Andre Breton
