Dada cannot live in New York. All New York is dada, and will not tolerate a rival.

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

I paint when I cannot photograph.

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

If the affairs of the world were put in the hands of the screwball artists, it couldn’t be in a worse state than it is now !
