More quotes by Andre Breton
Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express - verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner - the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern.
Andre Breton
Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.
Andre Breton
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Andre Breton
A work of art has value only if tremors of the future run through it.
Andre Breton
It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.
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
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.
Andre Breton
The imaginary is what tends to become real.
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
Who am I? If this once I were to rely on a proverb, then perhaps everything would amount to knowing whom I 'haunt.'
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
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
Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.
Andre Breton
My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
Andre Breton
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.
Andre Breton
Words make love with one another.
Andre Breton
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Andre Breton
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything.
Andre Breton
Artistic imagination must remain free. It is by definition free from any fidelity to circumstances, especially to the intoxicating circumstances of history.
Andre Breton
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.
Andre Breton
