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
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
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
Photographic fantasy: more agile and faster in discoveries than murky subconscious processes!
Salvador Dali
To be interesting, one has to provoke.
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
You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life
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
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
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
Paranoiac-critical activity makes the world of delirium pass onto the plane of reality.
Salvador Dali
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature, understand them thoroughly.
Salvador Dali
Picasso is a communist. Neither am I.
Salvador Dali
There comes a moment in every person's life when they realise they adore me.
Salvador Dali
I shall be so brief that I have already finished.
Salvador Dali
I don't need drugs. I am drugs.
Salvador Dali
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Salvador Dali
All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.
Salvador Dali
I'm going to live forever. Geniuses don't die.
Salvador Dali
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
