Since man's highest mission on earth is to spiritualize everything, it is his excrement in particular that needs it most.

I'm going to live forever. Geniuses don't die.

All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.

I do not believe in my death.

I will be sof brief, I have already finished.

I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.

Whatever happens, my audience mustn't know whether I am spoofing or being serious; and likewise I mustn't know either. I am in a constant interrogation; when does the deep and philosophically valid Dali begin, and where does the looney and preposterous Dali end?
