Andre Breton Quotes

«Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, infamous, sullying, and grotesque is contained for me in this single word: God»
«The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.»
«Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads.»
«Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.»
Author: Andre Breton (Critic, Editor, Founder, Poet) | Keywords: convulsive
«To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet. However paltry may have been the stake (my life) I am conscious of having won to the full. Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!»
«No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.»
«Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.»
Author: Andre Breton (Critic, Editor, Founder, Poet) | About: Love
«To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.»
«All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.»
«In the world we live in everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.»
