Surrealist Techniques/dream R%c3%a9sum%c3%a9

Famous quotes containing the words surrealist, techniques and/or dream:

    To be a surrealist ... means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.
    René Magritte (1898–1967)

    The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    It is the sorrow; shall it melt? Ah, water
    Would gush, flush, green these mountains and these valleys
    And we rebuild our cities, not dream of islands.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
