Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.

Dada is a state of mind.

Who am I? If this once I were to rely on a proverb, then perhaps everything would amount to knowing whom I 'haunt.'

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

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

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.

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.
