More quotes by Salvador Dali
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
There comes a moment in every person's life when they realise they adore me.
Salvador Dali
Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.
Salvador Dali
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Salvador Dali
The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.
Salvador Dali
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.
Salvador Dali
God is just another artist, like me.
Salvador Dali
We must always remember that the Chinese revolution was not a peasant's revolution, but one of the extreme Right.
Salvador Dali
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
Life is too short to remain unnoticed
Salvador Dali
Do not strive to be a modern artist: it's the one thing, unfortunately, you can't help being.
Salvador Dali
Every morning when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dali.
Salvador Dali
Don't bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.
Salvador Dali
Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.
Salvador Dali
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
The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.
Salvador Dali
The connoisseur does not drink wine but tastes its secrets
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
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.
Salvador Dali
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
