Salvador Dali

"Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality."

"The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture."

"Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali."

"It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning."

"Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory."

"Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them."

"The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret."

"Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die."

"What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust."
