If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream  (Rene Magritte Quotes) This is not a pipe  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Everything 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....  (Rene Magritte Quotes) I like subversive humor, freckles, women’s knees and long hair, the laughter of playing children, and a girl running down the street.  (Rene Magritte Quotes) I detest my past, and anyone else’s.

I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people.  (Rene Magritte Quotes) My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question ‘What does that mean’? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable  (Rene Magritte Quotes) A truly poetic canvas is an awakened dream  (Rene Magritte Quotes) A thing which is present can be invisible, hidden by what it shows  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Nothing is confused except the mind  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Life obliges me to do something, so I paint  (Rene Magritte Quotes) The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb  (Rene Magritte Quotes) We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Everything 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  (Rene Magritte Quotes) I have few illusions: the cause is lost in advance. As for me, I do my part, which is to drag a fairly drab existence to its conclusion  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Only thought can resemble. It resembles by being what it sees, hears, or knows; it becomes what the world offers it  (Rene Magritte Quotes) The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown  (Rene Magritte Quotes) To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been  (Rene Magritte Quotes) No object is stuck with its name so irrevocably that one cannot find another which suits it better  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible  (Rene Magritte Quotes) The feeling we experience while we look at a picture is not to be distinguished from the picture or from ourselves. the feeling, picture, and ourselves are united in one mystery  (Rene Magritte Quotes) An object is not so attached to its name that we cannot find another one that would suit it better  (Rene Magritte Quotes) If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but of thinking of the question that is raised  (Rene Magritte Quotes) I want nevertheless to add that for me the world is a defiance of common sense  (Rene Magritte Quotes) I detest my past, and anyone else’s. I detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present  (Rene Magritte Quotes) We are surrounded by curtains. We only perceive the world behind a curtain of semblance. At the same time, an object needs to be covered in order to be recognized at all  (Rene Magritte Quotes) Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see  (Rene Magritte Quotes)
