More quotes by Andre Breton
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
Life’s greatest gift is the freedom it leaves you to step out of it whenever you choose.
Andre Breton
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
Andre Breton
No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.
Andre Breton
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
My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
Andre Breton
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything.
Andre Breton
Dada is a state of mind.
Andre Breton
It was in the black mirror of anarchism that surrealism first recognised itself.
Andre Breton
The pure playfulness of certain wholly whimsical portions of (Charles) Cros’s work should not obscure the fact that at the center of some of his most beautiful poems a revolver is leveled straight at us.
Andre Breton
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
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
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
At the word witch, we imagine the horrible old crones from Macbeth. But the cruel trials witches suffered teach us the opposite. Many perished precisely because they were young and beautiful.
Andre Breton
I myself shall continue living in my glass house where you can always see who comes to call, where everything hanging from the the ceiling and on the walls stays where it is as if by magic, where I sleep nights in a glass bed, under glass sheets, where who I am will sooner or later appear etched by a diamond.
Andre Breton
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
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
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
Every time you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you're settling.
Andre Breton
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
Andre Breton
