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
