# | Quote |
---|
1 | The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot. |
2 | Everything leads me to think that, in the near future, reality will be considered exclusively as a mere state of depression and inactivity of the mind. |
3 | What is important is to spread confusion, not eliminate it. |
4 | Take me, I am the drug. Take me, I am the hallucinogenic. |
5 | Beauty is but the conscious sum of all our perversions. |
6 | I'm in a permanent state of intellectual erection. |
7 | [when asked what was his destiny] To become classic! |
8 | I do not understand why man should be capable of so little fantasy. |
9 | Do you know . . . ? Every day, I see new things in the shape of stones. |
10 | The only difference between a madman and me is that I am not mad. |
11 | What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust. |
12 | There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction. |
13 | [when asked if he took drugs] I do not DO drugs. I AM drugs! |

1 | Inducted into the International Mustache Hall of Fame in 2015 (inaugural class) in the category Music & Arts. |
2 | Was involved with Jadorowsky's unsuccessful attempt to adapt the novel "Dune" to the screen. Dali would have played Emperor Shaddam IV. Another surreal artist, H. R. Giger, was also involved in the project. |
3 | In a relatively recent retrospective at the Tate Modern in Britain, a panel declared that Salvador Dali had designed the Tarot Cards in "Let Live and Let Die". |
4 | In 1923, in Madrid, at the Residencia de Estudiantes, Dalí met the poet Federico García Lorca who promptly fell in love with him. A close and passionate friendship developed in the following years. In the summer of 1927 Lorca twice tried physical intimacy with a somewhat complacent Dalí. He, nevertheless, became fearful of the homo-erotic aspects of the friendship and distanced himself of Lorca in 1928. |
5 | He had an older brother also named Salvador Dalí (October 12, 1901-August 1, 1903)that died at the young age of 1 year and 9 months, from gastroenteritis. Consumed with pain, Dalí's parents wasted no time in begetting another child. He was born nine months later and was named after his brother. This deceased brother was a ghost rival of Dalí's throughout his childhood and was a disturbing influence in his psychological make-up. He grew up under the feeling that the first Salvador Dalí was the real one and he a mere forgery. |
6 | He included his wife, Gala Dalí, as a central character in many of his paintings. |
7 | Had a relationship with Amanda Lear. |
8 | Was a student and later collaborator with Luis Buñuel. Met at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid. |
9 | In 1945, he signed on with Walt Disney to assist in the development of a film to be entitled "Destino". The film project was cancelled with only 15 seconds of animation completed. The film was finally completed and released in 2003. |
10 | He is mentioned in the song "Big Wedge" by former Marillion singer Fish, a UK Top 40 single from 1990. He is also mentioned in the song "Was It All Worth It?" by Queen, a track from their 1989 album "The Miracle". |
11 | Early in his life, Dalí was an admirer of the painter Pablo Picasso and based several of his early paintings on Picasso's cubist style. |
12 | A business developer, in total seriousness, approached Dalí with the intention to start a chain of lunch shops decorated with his artwork, and call the chain "Dalícatessen". Dalí responded by calling the business developer a "madman", and refused to accept any further offers. |
13 | Born at 8:45am-UT |
