Salvador Dali Quotes – A Peek into the Mind of a Surrealist Genius

I don’t do drugs. I am drugs.

Give me two hours a day of activity, and I’ll take the other twenty-two in dreams.

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

The one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.

What is important is to spread confusion, not eliminate it.

Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy – the joy of being Salvador Dali – and I ask myself in rapture, ‘What wonderful things is this Dali going to accomplish today?’

Give me the mechanical, metallic sound of a camera shutter any day.

The only thing worse than being taken seriously is not being taken seriously.

The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad.

It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself.

Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.

I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.

I am neither a genius nor a madman; I am Salvador Dali.

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

I masked my identity in order to do exactly what I wanted to do, which was to make absolutely the best painting in the world.

The one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.
