More quotes by Andre Breton
Humor (is) the process that allows one to brush reality aside when it gets too distressing.
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
Surrealism does not allow those who devote themselves to it to forsake it whenever they like. There is every reason to believe that it acts on the mind very much as drugs do like drugs, it creates a certain state of need and can push man to frightful revolts.
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
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
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.
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. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.
Andre Breton
What one hides is worth neither more nor less than what one finds. And what one hides from oneself is worth neither more nor less than what one allows others to find.
Andre Breton
...with the end of my breath, which is the beginning of yours.
Andre Breton
The lamentable expression: 'But it was only a dream, the increasing use of which - among others in the domain of the cinema - has contributed not a little to encourage such hypocrisy, has for a long while ceased to merit discussion.
Andre Breton
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
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
It is more or less a given that nothing is less favorable to clairvoyance than the bright sun: physical light and mental light coexist on very poor terms.
Andre Breton
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything.
Andre Breton
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
May night continue to fall upon the orchestra
Andre Breton
The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down into the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd.
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
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Andre Breton
