01UndatedEverything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see, but it is impossible. Humans hide their secrets too well....René Magritte / quote ↗
03UndatedAs regards the artists themselves, most of them gave up their freedom quite lightly, placing their art at the service of someone or something. As a rule, their concerns and their ambitions are those of any old careerist. I thus acquired a total distrust of art and artists, whether they were officially recognised or were endeavouring to become so, and I felt that I had nothing in common with this guild. I had a point of reference which held me elsewhere, namely that magic within art which I had encountered as a child.René Magritte / quote ↗
05UndatedIf the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.René Magritte / quote ↗
06UndatedWhat he imagines evokes nothing imaginary, it evokes the reality of the world that experience and reason treat in a confused manner.René Magritte / quote ↗
07UndatedBetween words and objects one can create new relations and specify characteristics of language and objects generally ignored in everyday life.René Magritte / quote ↗
