Drawing is the honesty of the art.

Everything that is contradictory creates life

I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly.

Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy - the joy of being Salvador Dalí - and I ask myself in rapture: What wonderful things this Salvador Dalí is going to accomplish today?

Right now I'm the greatest. I don't say this through vanity. It's just that the rest are so bad.

Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!

Repulsion is the sentry that guards the gate to all that we most desire.
