More quotes by Salvador Dali

Image
In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.
Salvador Dali
Image
I'm going to live forever. Geniuses don't die.
Salvador Dali
Image
I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.
Salvador Dali
Image
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
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
I shall be so brief that I have already finished.
Salvador Dali
Image
Qui sait déguster ne boit plus jamais de vin, mais goûte des secrets
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
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
Image
When I paint, the Sea Roars Others Splash about in the bath
Salvador Dali
Image
We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images. Abstract art will have been good for one thing: to restore its exact virginity to figurative art.
Salvador Dali
Image
I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.
Salvador Dali
Image
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
Image
Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.
Salvador Dali
Image
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature, understand them thoroughly.
Salvador Dali
Image
[I am a] contradictory and paradoxical man.
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
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
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
You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life
