Foundation

“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation....

Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

“But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
