Don't bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.
Salvador Dali
Image
I'm going to live forever. Geniuses don't die.
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
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.

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

Salvador Dali
Image
One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.
Salvador Dali
Image
The famous soft watches are nothing else than the tender, extravagant, solitary, paranoic-critical camembert oftime and space.
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
Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.
Salvador Dali
Image
Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
Salvador Dali
Image
Paranoiac-critical activity makes the world of delirium pass onto the plane of reality.
Salvador Dali
Image
Drawing is the honesty of the art.
Salvador Dali
Image
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Salvador Dali
Image
[I am a] contradictory and paradoxical man.
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!
