Refuse any image that could have a rational meaning or any memory or culture
Luis Bunuel
Image
I would give my life for a man who is looking for the truth. But I would gladly kill a man who thinks that he has found the truth.
Luis Bunuel
Image
If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I'd like to spend them, I'd reply 'Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams.'
Luis Bunuel
Image
The bar... is an exercise in solitude. Above all else, it must be quiet, dark, very comfortable-and, contrary to modern mores, no music of any kind, no matter how faint. In sum, there should be no more than a dozen tables, and a client that doesn't like to talk.
Luis Bunuel
Image
If you were to ask me if I'd ever had the bad luck to miss my daily cocktail, I'd have to say that I doubt it where certain things are concerned, I plan ahead.
Luis Bunuel
Image
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.

Image
Tobacco and alcohol, delicious fathers of abiding friendships and fertile reveries.

Image
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.

Image
Thank God I'm an atheist.
Luis Bunuel
Image
If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.
Luis Bunuel
Image
Nothing would disgust me more, morally, than receiving an Oscar.
Luis Bunuel
Image
I am an atheist, thanks be to God.
Luis Bunuel
Image
Repeat, over and over again, in case anyone forgets it or believes the contrary, that we do not live in the best of all possible worlds.
Luis Bunuel
Image
Salvador Dalí seduced many ladies, particularly American ladies, but these seductions usually consisted of stripping them naked in his apartment, frying a couple of eggs, putting them on the woman's shoulders and, without a word, showing them the door.
Luis Bunuel
Image
If the devil were to offer me a resurgence of what is commonly called virility, I'd decline. ''Just keep my liver and lungs in good working order,'' I'd reply, ''so I can go on drinking and smoking!''
Luis Bunuel
Image
If alcohol is queen, then tobacco is her consort. It's a fond companion for all occasions, a loyal friend through fair weather and foul.
Luis Bunuel
Image
The decline of the aperitif may well be one of the most depressing phenomena of our time.
Luis Bunuel
Image
Luis Bunuel's two semishort surrealist hand grenades (cowritten in varying degrees with Salvador Dali) make a double bill that can restore your faith in the subversions of youth. Pure Spanish-Parisian piss and vinegar.

A paranoiac, like a poet, is born, not made.
Luis Bunuel

I find it [science] analytical, pretentious and superficial-largely because it does not address itself to dreams, chance, laughter, feelings, or paradox-in other words,-all the things I love the most.
