Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.

Salvador Dali, Spanish Artist (1904-1989)

Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.

Salvador Dali, Spanish Artist (1904-1989)

I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.

Trevor Dunn, American Musician (1968- )

Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.

John Lennon, English Musician (1940-1980)

The Pirate is surrealism and so, in a curious way, is Father of the Bride.

Vincente Minnelli, American Director (1903-1986)

But surrealism is present in most of my pictures.

Vincente Minnelli, American Director (1903-1986)

Dali was the great painter then and surrealism was a way of life.

Vincente Minnelli, American Director (1903-1986)

As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.

Mark Mothersbaugh, American Musician (1950- )

Surrealism is a bourgeois disaffection; that its militants thought it universal is only one of the signs that it is typically bourgeois.
