Salvador Dali
Image
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.

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!
