More quotes by 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
Nothing proves the truth of surrealism so much as photography. The Zeiss lens has unexpected faculties of surprise!
Salvador Dali
I don't need drugs. I am drugs.
Salvador Dali
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
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
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
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
Salvador Dali
Beauty should be edible, or not at all.
Salvador Dali
I shall be so brief that I have already finished.
Salvador Dali
Qui sait déguster ne boit plus jamais de vin, mais goûte des secrets
Salvador Dali
People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings.
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
Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
Salvador Dali
We must always remember that the Chinese revolution was not a peasant's revolution, but one of the extreme Right.
Salvador Dali
I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.
Salvador Dali
Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters. After that, you can do as you like everyone will respect you.
Salvador Dali
There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
Salvador Dali
All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.
Salvador Dali
Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.
Salvador Dali
God invented man, and man invented the metric system.
Salvador Dali
