Image
The problem with the youth of today' is that one is no longer part of it.
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
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Salvador Dali
Image
Forever will be you and me.
Salvador Dali
Image
God is just another artist, like me.
Salvador Dali

Nothing proves the truth of surrealism so much as photography. The Zeiss lens has unexpected faculties of surprise!
Salvador Dali
Image
There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
Salvador Dali
Image
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
Image
Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.
Salvador Dali
Image
At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.

Everything that is contradictory creates life
Salvador Dali
Image
[I am a] contradictory and paradoxical man.
Salvador Dali
Image
Photographic data... is still and ESSENTIALLY THE SAFEST POETIC MEDIUM and the most agile process for catching the most delicate osmoses which exist between reality and surreality. The mere fact of photographic transposition means a total invention: the capture of a secret reality.
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
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
The daily life of a genius, his sleep, his digestion, he ecstasies, his nails, his colds, his blood, his life and death are essentially different from the rest of mankind.
Salvador Dali
Image
Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.
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!
Salvador Dali
Image
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
Image
New skin, a new land! And a land of liberty, if that is possible! I chose the geology of a land that was new to me.
