There is By my leaning over the precipice Of your presence and your absence in hopeless fusion My finding the secret Of loving you Always for the first time

Andre Breton 119 quotes

Leave everything. Leave Dada....

Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and why my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

At the outset, it is only lik...

At the outset, it is only liking, not understanding, that matters. Gaps in understanding ... are not only important, they are perhaps even welcome, like clearings in the woods, the better to allow the heart's rays to stream out without obstacle. The unlit shadows should remain obscure, which is the very condition of enchantment.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

The mind, placed before any k...

The mind, placed before any kind of difficulty, can find an ideal outlet in the absurd. Accommodation to the absurd readmits adults to the mysterious realm inhabited by children.

The imaginary is what tends to become real.

Objects seen in dreams should be manufactured and put on sale.

It was in the black mirror of anarchism that surrealism first recognised itself.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

One can understand why Surrealism was not afraid to make for itself a tenet of total revolt, complete insubordination, of sabotage according to rule, and why it still expects nothing save from violence.

The important thing is that man is lost in time, in the moment that immediately precedes him - which only attests, by reflection, to the fact that he is lost in the moment that follows

Andre Breton 119 quotes

I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man...is above all the plaything of his memory.

When will the arbitrary be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?

Andre Breton 119 quotes

The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd. Anyone who, at least once in his life, has not dreamed of thus putting an end to the petty system of debasement and cretinization in effect has a well-defined place in that crowd with his belly at barrel-level.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

I find it impossible to think of a picture save as a window, and my first concern about a window is to find out what it looks out on... and there is nothing I love so much as something which stretches away from me out of sight.

We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

To see, to hear, means nothin...

To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

A game: say something. Close your eyes and say something. Anything, a number, a name. Like this (she closes her eyes): Two, two what? Two women. What do they look like? Wearing black. Where are they? In a park. . . . And then, what are they doing? Try it, it's so easy, why don't you want to play? You know, that's how I talk to myself when I'm alone, I tell myself all kinds of stories. And not only silly stories: actually, I live this way altogether.

Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
