“There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.”

Everything alters me, but nothing changes me.

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

God is just another artist, like me.

People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings.

The two greatest strokes of luck that can happen to a painter are (1) to be Spanish, (2) to be called Dali.

The famous soft watches are nothing else than the tender, extravagant, solitary, paranoic-critical camembert oftime and space.

We are children of God, and the entire universe tends towards the perfection of mankind.

Paranoiac-critical activity makes the world of delirium pass onto the plane of reality.

The true painter must be able, with the most usual things, to have the most unusual ideas.

It is mostly with your blood, Gala that I paint my pictures

I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.

God is present in everything.

God invented man, and man invented the metric system.

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

Let my enemies devour each other.
