The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

Will and intellect are one and the same thing.

Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.

Excellence encourages one about life generally; 

it shows the spiritual wealth of the world.

To be a surrealist means 

barring from your mind 

all remembrance of what you have seen, 

and being always on the lookout 

for what has never been.

Let us read and let us dance — 

two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.

We seldom call anybody lazy, 

but such as we reckon inferior to us, 

and of whom we expect some service.

My wish is to stay always like this, 

living quietly in a corner of nature.

When a man undertakes to create something, 

he establishes a new heaven, as it were, 

and from it 

the work that he desires to create 

flows into him

Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Life is to blame for everything.

The past grows gradually around one, 

like a placenta for dying.

Do the best you can, 

and don't take life too serious.

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
