salvador dali



I'm going to be going to the Dali exhibit at the High Museum this weekend. Dali spearheaded...

Salvador Dalí
I found this quote from Dali, and I loved it. It led to a series of 'crazy' quotes that I found.

"Since I don't smoke, I decided to grow a mustache - it is better for the health.
However, I always carried a jewel-studded cigarette case in which, instead of tobacco, were carefully placed several mustaches, Adolphe Menjou style. I offered them politely to my friends: "Mustache? Mustache? Mustache?"
Nobody dared to touch them. This was my test regarding the sacred aspect of mustaches."

Paulo Coelho
"Anyone who lives in her own world is crazy. Like schizophrenics, psychopaths, maniacs. I mean people who are different from others.'
Like you?'
On the other hand,' Zedka continued, pretending not to have heard the remark, 'you have Einstein, saying that there was no time or space, just a combination of the two. Or Columbus, insisting that on the other side of the world lay not an abyss but a continent. Or Edmund Hillary, convinced that a man could reach the top of Everest. Or the Beatles, who created an entirely different sort of music and dressed like people from another time. Those people--and thousands of others--all lived in their own world."
~Paulo Coehlo

Dr. Seuss
"Being crazy isn't enough."

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it."
- Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
- Walt Disney (1901-1966)
"Sanity may be madness but the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be." - Don Quixote (one of my roommates favorite quotes)
