"The only difference between me and the Surrealists is that I am a Surrealist"

be Napoleon. My ambitions have continued to grow at the same rate ever since."
"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 this Salvador Dali is going to accomplish today?"
"I tried sex once with a woman and that woman was Gala. It was overrated. I tried sex once with a man and that man was the famous juggler Federico Garcia Lorca [the Spanish Surrealist poet]. It was very painful.*"
"What is important is to spread confusion, not eliminate it."

you MET Dali????? Envious, I am feeling.
I truly blame the decade I was born in. 1980s were the worst of the times to be born in. We missed people like Dali, and what we got in return was Ronal Regan and George Bush.
Even Kubric died, before I could meet him.
you mean Kubric was so inconsiderate? And how would A clock work orange can influence as broad of a thing as life?
The art is not for the faint hearted and lost.
:D oh yeah!
well, madmen are not really mad. Liar's wit never turned. Prince Myshkin of Dostoevsky was not a madman, neither the guy in crime and punishment. Even Haller wasnt mad either.
The magic theatre was for mad men who werent mad. The art and expression is not for the madmen who really are mad.
* Lear I mean.
