"... The object of surrealism is moral. The demands it may elicit from you do not fall short of a furious revolutionary perspective concerning language, poetry, love, science, eroticism, politics, dependent on an imaginative exaltation of disquieting materials and potential renewal of latent powers requiring a purification of means well within your grasp, as easy as the day swallowing the night." ...

"If in executing (the) simple act of breathing in the scent of the lover's locks, we do not gamble our life itself, we do not engage the destiny of the last atom of our plasma and of the most distant star, if in this modicum of a second in which we execute in their totality our doubts, our riddles, our disquiet, our most contradictory aspirations, then indeed love is, as the pigs announce it, no more than a digestive function to perpetuate the species." Ghérasim Luca

"But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do by . . . melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid. If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern" William Blake
