Do not strive to be a modern artist: it's the one thing, unfortunately, you can't help being.

Someone like myself, who claimed to be a real madman, living and organized with a Pythagorean precision.

There is one thing more exasperating than a spouse who can cook and won't, and that's a spouse who can't cook and will. There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.

The fact I myself do not understand what my paintings mean while I am painting them does not imply that they are meaningless.

For me, love must be ugly, looks must be divine, and death must be beautiful.

Every morning when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dali.

It is mostly with your blood, Gala that I paint my pictures
