Salvador Dali Quotations
I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait. -- Salvador Dali
There is only one difference
between a madman and me. I
am not mad. --- Salvador
Dali
The difference between false
memories and true ones is
the same as for jewels: it
is always the false ones
that look the most real, the
most brilliant. ---Salvador
Dali
Have no fear of perfection -
you'll never reach it ---
Salvador Dali
I do not take drugs. I am
drugs. --Salvador Dali
People
love mystery, and that is
why they love my paintings.
--Salvador Dali
When I paint, the sea roars.
The others splash about in
the bath. --Salvador
Dali
The desire to survive and
the fear of death are
artistic sentiments.
--Salvador Dali
At the age of six I wanted
to be a cook. At seven I
wanted to be Napoleon. And
my ambition has been growing
steadily ever since.
--Salvador Dali
Those who do not want to
imitate anything, produce
nothing. (Salvador Dali)At the age of six I wanted
to be a cook. At seven I
wanted to be Napoleon. And
my ambition has been growing
steadily ever since.
Drawing is the honesty of
the art. There is no
possibility of cheating. It
is either good or bad.---
Salvador Dali
Intelligence without
ambition is a bird without
wings.--- Salvador Dali
One day it will have to be
officially admitted that
what we have christened
reality is an even greater
illusion than the world of
dreams. --Salvador
Dali
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.--- Salvador
Dali
The secret of my influence
has always been that it
remained secret.--- Salvador
Dali
