More quotes by Salvador Dali
Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.
Salvador Dali
Everyone should eat hashish, but only once.
Salvador Dali
The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret.
Salvador Dali
Who knows how to taste wine never drinks wine again, but tastes secrets instead
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
I shall be so brief that I have already finished.
Salvador Dali
[I am a] contradictory and paradoxical man.
Salvador Dali
Life is too short to remain unnoticed
Salvador Dali
Physiological expenditure is a superficial way of self-expression. People who incline toward physical love accomplish nothing at all.
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
I'm going to live forever. Geniuses don't die.
Salvador Dali
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
Everything that is contradictory creates life
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
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature, understand them thoroughly.
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
I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.
Salvador Dali
Every morning when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dali.
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
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
