Breton, Andre

Artistic imagination must remain free. It is by definition free from any fidelity to circumstances, especially to the intoxicating circumstances of history.

The approval of the public must be avoided above all. The public must be forbidden to enter if confusion is to be avoided.

The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.

I could spend my whole life prying loose the secrets of the insane. These people are honest to a fault, and their naivety has no peer but my own.

Let us not mince words.. the marvelous is always beautiful, anything marvelous is beautiful, in fact only the marvelous is beautiful.
