The mind which plunges into Su...

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

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.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

I find it impossible to think ...

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.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

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

Every time you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you're settling.

May night continue to fall upon the orchestra

Andre Breton 119 quotes

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

The purest surrealist act is walking into a crowd with a loaded gun and firing into it randomly

Andre Breton 119 quotes

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.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

Past and future monopolize the...

Past and future monopolize the poet's sensory and intellectual faculties, detached from the immediate spectacle. These two philtres become utterly clear the moment one stops being hypnotized by the cloudy precipitate constituted by the world of today.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

The pure playfulness of certain wholly whimsical portions of (Charles) Cros's work should not obscure the fact that at the center of some of his most beautiful poems a revolver is leveled straight at us.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

Humor (is) the process that allows one to brush reality aside when it gets too distressing.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

Life's greatest gift is the freedom it leaves you to step out of it whenever you choose.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

At the word witch, we imagine the horrible old crones from Macbeth. But the cruel trials witches suffered teach us the opposite. Many perished precisely because they were young and beautiful.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

It is more or less a given that nothing is less favorable to clairvoyance than the bright sun: physical light and mental light coexist on very poor terms.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

The approval of the public is ...

The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

At the outset, it is only liki...

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

It is impossible for me to env...

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

If surrealism ever comes to ad...

If surrealism ever comes to adopt a particular line of moral conduct, it has only to accept the discipline that Picasso has accepted and will continue to accept.

Andre Breton 119 quotes

I insist on knowing the names,...

I insist on knowing the names, on being interested only in books left ajar, like doors; I will not go looking for keys.
