Salvador Dalí Quotes

Que nosso fogo interno esteja ao máximo, para esquentar a regra ao rubro e modificá-la! Que nossa realidade interior seja tão forte que corrija a realidade exterior! E que nossas paixões sejam devorantes, mas que tenhamos um apetite de viver ainda maior, para devorá-las!

"Since I don't smoke, I decided to grow a mustache - it is better for the health.
However, I always carried a jewel-studded cigarette case in which, instead of tobacco, were carefully placed several mustaches, Adolphe Menjou style. I offered them politely to my friends: "Mustache? Mustache? Mustache?"
Nobody dared to touch them. This was my test regarding the sacred aspect of mustaches."

To je bio period koji su moji roditelji nazvali „kameno doba“. Upotrebljavao sam kamenje da bih dobio, na primer, veoma blistav oblak. Lepio sam kamenje na platno, a zatim ga bojio. Jedan od mojih najvećih uspeha u ovom žanru je bio zalazak sunca sa kao krv crvenim oblacima. Nebo je bilo prepuno kamenja svih dimenzija, od kojih su neki bili veliki kao pesnica. Ova slika je dugo visila na zidu porodične trpezarije i sećam se da nas je često, u tišini posle večere, iznenađivao šum kamena koji bi, odlepivši se sa slike, padao na pod. Moja majka bi prestala da šije, a otac ju je uvek umirivao rečima:
-Nije ništa, to je samo još jedan kamen pao sa neba našeg deteta.

The H-bomb is coming out of my intuitive and inspirationic command, for my spirit speaketh and speaketh psychologically, intuitively, and inspirationally and guides the destinies of the nations of the earth.. .My Assumption is the opposite of the atomic bomb. Instead of disintegration of matter, we have the integration, the reconstitution of the real and glorious body of the Virgin in the heavens.

Begin by drawing and painting like the old masters. After that do as you see fit - you will always be respected.

I'm too intelligent to be a good painter; to be a good painter you've got to be a bit stupid - with the exception of Velázquez who is a genius.

Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.

I tried sex once with a woman and it was Gala. It was overated. I tried sex once with a man and that man was the famous juggler Frederico Garcia Lorca. It was very painful.

In the Surrealist period, I wanted to create the iconography of the interior world and the world of the marvelous, of my father Freud. Today, the exterior world and that of physics has transcended the one of psychology. My father today is Dr. Heisenberg.
