More quotes by Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali
People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings.
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
The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.
Salvador Dali
Without hesitation, I place Freud among the heroes. He dispossessed the Jewish people of the greatest and most influential of all heroes-Moses.
Salvador Dali
You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life
Salvador Dali
Who knows how to taste wine never drinks wine again, but tastes secrets instead
Salvador Dali
I shall be so brief that I have already finished.
Salvador Dali
