“This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.”

Geniuses must never die, the progress of mankind depends on us.

All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.

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.

Nothing proves the truth of surrealism so much as photography. The Zeiss lens has unexpected faculties of surprise!

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.

Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.

If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.

I wasn’t available to do the right things for my son. If not for the arts, my child would’ve been lost.

Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.

Suddenly I’ve got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.

Art is difficult, transient is her reward.

Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.

Art imitates life and, sometimes, life imitates art. It’s a weird combination of elements.
