More quotes by 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
If you refuse to study anatomy, the arts of drawing and perspective, the mathematics of aesthetics, and the science of color, let me tell you that this is more a sign of laziness than of genius.
Salvador Dali
I shall be so brief that I have already finished.
Salvador Dali
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Salvador Dali
God invented man, and man invented the metric system.
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
Everything that is contradictory creates life
Salvador Dali
Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.
Salvador Dali
We must always remember that the Chinese revolution was not a peasant's revolution, but one of the extreme Right.
Salvador Dali
And now the announcement of Watson and Crick about DNA. This is for me the real proof of the existence of God.
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
Life is too short to remain unnoticed
Salvador Dali
When I paint, the Sea Roars Others Splash about in the bath
Salvador Dali
The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.
Salvador Dali
Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.
Salvador Dali
Genius has to pass over madness and madness over genius
Salvador Dali
Nothing proves the truth of surrealism so much as photography. The Zeiss lens has unexpected faculties of surprise!
Salvador Dali
I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.
Salvador Dali
Forever will be you and me.
Salvador Dali
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
