Salvador Dali

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Have no fear of perfection -- you will never reach it.

It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself.

Repulsion is the sentry that guards the gate to all that we most desire.

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.

The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad

There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.
