Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject.

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

I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak.

In the world we live in everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.

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.

My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.

Surrealism does not allow those who devote themselves to it to forsake it whenever they like. There is every reason to believe that it acts on the mind very much as drugs do; like drugs, it creates a certain state of need and can push man to frightful revolts.
