More quotes by Salvador Dali

Image
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
Salvador Dali
Image
Great wine requires a mad man to grow the vine, a wise man to watch over it, a lucid poet to make it, and a lover to drink it.
Salvador Dali
Image
The daily life of a genius, his sleep, his digestion, he ecstasies, his nails, his colds, his blood, his life and death are essentially different from the rest of mankind.
Salvador Dali
Image
If I'm going to be anything more than average, if anyone is going to remember me, then I need to go further, in art, in life, in everything!
Salvador Dali
Image
Sometimes I spit on my mother's portrait for pleasure.
Salvador Dali
Image
Beauty should be edible, or not at all.
Salvador Dali
Image
Nothing proves the truth of surrealism so much as photography. The Zeiss lens has unexpected faculties of surprise!
Salvador Dali
Image
Young people need plenty of difficulties to achieve something.... If you receive a little money for this, a little money for that, everything becomes mediocre, and collapses ignominiously.
Salvador Dali
Image
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Salvador Dali
Image
Whatever happens, my audience mustn't know whether I am spoofing or being serious and likewise I mustn't know either. I am in a constant interrogation when does the deep and philosophically valid Dali begin, and where does the looney and preposterous Dali end?
Salvador Dali
Image
I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.
Salvador Dali
Image
Physiological expenditure is a superficial way of self-expression. People who incline toward physical love accomplish nothing at all.
Salvador Dali

Qui sait déguster ne boit plus jamais de vin, mais goûte des secrets
Salvador Dali
Image
There is one thing more exasperating than a spouse who can cook and won't, and that's a spouse who can't cook and will. There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.
Salvador Dali
Image
And now the announcement of Watson and Crick about DNA. This is for me the real proof of the existence of God.
Salvador Dali
Image
Do not be afraid of perfection - you will never attain it.
Salvador Dali
Image
Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
Salvador Dali

Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.
Salvador Dali

Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.

Eroticism, hallucinogenic drugs, nuclear science, Gaudi's Gothic architecture, my love of gold - there is a common denominator in all of it: God is present in everything. The same magic is at the heart of all things, and all roads lead to the same revelation: we are children of God, and the entire universe tends towards the perfection of mankind.
