We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable 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.

The mind loves the unknown. 

It loves images whose meaning is unknown, 

since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.

If the dream is a translation of waking life, 

waking life is also a translation of the dream.

Everything we see 

hides another thing, 

we always want to see 

what is hidden 

by what we see.

Only thought can resemble. 

It resembles by being what it sees, hears, or knows; 

it becomes what the world offers it.

Art evokes the mystery 

without which 

the world would not exist.
