Andre Breton's Quote - To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize)

Quote by Andre Breton

To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize)

To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize. – Andre Breton
