Painting bores me like everything else. Unfortunately, painting is one of the activities - it is bound up in the series of activities - that seems to change almost nothing in life, the same habits are always recurring.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

Everything we see hides anoth...

Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

I detest my past, and anyone ...

I detest my past, and anyone else's. I detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible.

Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

Do not accept any explanation...

Do not accept any explanation of the world either through chance or determinism. You are not responsible for your belief. It is not even you who decides that you are not responsible - and so on to infinity. You are not obliged to believe. There is no point of departure.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

My painting is visible images that conceal nothing... they evoke mystery. Mystery means nothing. It is unknowable.

Too often we tend to reduce what is strange to what is familiar. I intend to restore the familiar to the strange.

I have few illusions: the cause is lost in advance. As for me, I do my part, which is to drag a fairly drab existence to its conclusion.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

My painting is visible images...

My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.

Rene Magritte 48 quotes

The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.
