Luis Buñuel

***************

Somewhere between chance
and mystery lies the grave
seduction of smoke

***************

Truth doesn’t matter . . .
A daily cocktail of truth
cannot change the world

***************

What is lovelier
than life without memory?
Amnesia is God!

***************

A paranoiac
imagination is the
freedom of poets

***************

Why can’t the Devil
in all His luminousness
make me his consort?

***************

When you’re naked, age
matters; when you’re in the grave,
age doesn’t matter

***************

Fortunately, an
exquisite sense of horror
protects me from life

***************

Oppression of love:
essential spurt of reason,
then bitter regret

***************

For a writer, the
margin of conformity
tastes of word torture

***************

André Breton

***************

Leave your memory.
Leave your future. But never
leave your Dada road.

***************

Love is when you meet
someone who tells you love is
imaginary

***************

To see art, to hear
art means nothing . . . To write art
is worth even less

***************

Convulsive desire
produces contradictions
hidden in doomed words

***************

In the world we live
in children will never have
to happen again

***************

The exaltation
of beauty is a fleeting
moment of dream death

***************

Dalí’s the plaything
of incommunicable
despairing freedom

***************

Between virtue and
vice is the shadow of a
fear I cannot name

***************

The past hesitates
like an affair of the heart
itself forgotten

***************

My wife has ceased to
be a waking event . . . She
renounces substance

Max Ernst

***************

Birth is the conquest
of Christian humility . . .
A nudity bomb

***************

Expressionism is
the decorative coupling
of eye and psyche

***************

The ugliness of
pride is the ugliness of
felt reality

***************

The irrational
has got nothing to do with
the irrational

***************

Collage is simply
irreconcilable with
juxtaposition

***************

The spark of a good
idea is lost for all
time in its finding

***************

The common thrust of
taste does not suit a woman’s
virtue or beauty

***************

Leonora Carrington

***************

Reason is a form
of death—a fading away
like rhododendrons

***************

The right eye is for
painting; the left eye is to
admire the painting

***************

Dawn was my muse till
she dissolved in the silent
light of forever

***************

I haven’t got time
for people—I must shovel
coal and chop huge stones

***************

The task of God is
to plunge your head into a
crematorium

***************

The novelist peers
into a microscope of
transfixed air—and breathes

***************

It is the duty
of the artist to simply
derange everything
