To the complaint, ‘There are no people in these photographs,’ I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.
Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dali.
I write to discover what I know.
I can’t tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like.
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
One must give value to one’s existence by behaving as if one’s very existence were a work of art.
I don't paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.
God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.
If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.
We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore – except to make our lives into a work of art.
Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Shoot for the stars, so if you fall you land on a cloud.
The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of.
We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.
If you knew how much work went into it, you wouldn’t call it genius.
Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.
Never believe anyone who tells you that you don't deserve what you want.
I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.
Everything alters me, but nothing changes me.
