When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

The complicated engines manufactured by men demand, if one really wants to use them, much calm. Ever since our love for machines replaced the love we used to have for our fellow man, catastrophes proceed to increase.

I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

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

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