Salvador Dali
"I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous."
"Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them."
"Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision."
"Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation."
"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it."

Dali is such a creative thinker for better and worse - a master of surrealism - love the quotes here - the hubris in the first ha - and then the astuteness and frankness of the others - perfection - mistakes - a truly great mind! nice post Kerry!
Ahh.. Thought you'd like some remarks on Surrealism, OT :)
I like the quote about the shackles limiting our vision!
I am discovering that you are truly an intellectual. I have grown to have a significant appreciation for the things that you share here at this blog. When I was younger, I really loved those who were a part of the Surreal movement, passionately. I like what OT said above ... "for better or worse. My sentiments precisely. Kerry thank you for sharing your creative mind with us.
Thanks for that, dear Raven. I appreciate your generous feedback, here on Real Toads.

I love the line, "Have no fear of perfection-you'll never reach it"...oh, yeah this rings a few bells! Thanks Kerry!
