Quote by Andre Breton
Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress

Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads. – Andre Breton

Other quotes by Andre Breton
