More quotes by Salvador Dali
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Salvador Dali
Paranoiac-critical activity makes the world of delirium pass onto the plane of reality.
Salvador Dali
I seated ugliness on my knee, and almost immediately grew tired of it.
Salvador Dali
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
When I paint, the Sea Roars Others Splash about in the bath
Salvador Dali
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
Beauty should be edible, or not at all.
Salvador Dali
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature, understand them thoroughly.
Salvador Dali
Just as I am astonished that a bank clerk never eats a cheque, so too am I astonished that no painter before me ever thought of painting a soft watch.
Salvador Dali
All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.
Salvador Dali
Without hesitation, I place Freud among the heroes. He dispossessed the Jewish people of the greatest and most influential of all heroes-Moses.
Salvador Dali
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.
Salvador Dali
Drawing is the honesty of the art.
Salvador Dali
It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself.
Salvador Dali
Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
Salvador Dali
Do not strive to be a modern artist: it's the one thing, unfortunately, you can't help being.
Salvador Dali
You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life
Salvador Dali
I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.
Salvador Dali
The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.
Salvador Dali
I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.
Salvador Dali
