Legacy/Why listen to me
“Surrealism does not allow those who devote themselves to it to forsake it whenever they like. There is every reason to believe that it acts on the mind very much as drugs do; like drugs, it creates a certain state of need and can push man to frightful revolts.”
“Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.”
