Andre BretonThinkers

The Absurd is what readmits adults to the mysterious realm inhabited by children.

The Arbitrary is of great importance. When will it be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?

Beauty is convulsive or it is not at all.

Dada is a state of mind.

The Example is simply a life-saver, answering the appeals of would-be rules in this world of ours where no rules exist.

Existence is elsewhere. It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions.

The Eye is not open when it is limited to the passive role of a reflecting mirror.

The Fantastic is admirable in this: that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.

The Imaginary is what tends to become real.

Kindness is risky. Kind hearts are soonest wronged.
