Salvador Dali

I am not afraid of anything. Except for garlic.

I believe in the existence of angels. I have seen them.

The only difference between a good painting and a bad painting is that a good painting can be sold.

I am a genius, and I am proud of it.

I prefer to be a madman, with the madness of an artist, than a sane man, with the sanity of a philistine.

The most important thing for me is to shock people. To make them think.

I am not a communist. I am not a fascist. I am a Dalíist.

I consider myself to be a living work of art.

The only thing I love more than money is Gala.

I am not a normal person. I am a genius. And geniuses are never normal.

I paint pictures that make me die of joy.

The only difference between me and other people is that I am Dalí.

I am not a man of this world. I am a man of another world.

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

I would like to spit on the grave of Picasso.

I don't do drugs. I am a drug.

Each morning I wake and I experience again a supreme pleasure, the pleasure of being Salvador Dali.

Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters. After that, you can do as you like; everyone will respect you.

A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.

Everything alters me, but nothing changes me.
