I Am The First To

Every Morning When I Awake, The Greatest Of Joys Is Mine: That Of Being Salvador Dali.

The Two Greatest Strokes Of Luck That Can Happen To A Painter Are (1) To Be Spanish, (2) To Be Called Dali

You Know The Worst Thing Is Freedom. Freedom Of Any Kind Is The Worst For Creativity. You Know, Dali Spent Two Months In Jail In Spain, And These Two Months Were The Most Enjoyable And Happy In My Life. Before My Jail Period, I Was Always Nervous, Anxious. I Didn't Know If I Should Make A Drawing, Or Perhaps Make A Poem, Or Go To The Movies Or The Theatre, Or Catch A Girl, Or Play With The Boys. The People Put Me In Jail, And My Life Became Divine. Tremendous!

We Must Always Remember That The Chinese Revolution Was Not A Peasant's Revolution, But One Of The Extreme Right.

I Dedicate This Novel To Gala, Who Was Constantly By My Side While I Was Writing It, Who Was The Good Fairy Of My Equilibrium, Who Banished The Salamanders Of My Doubts And Strengthened The Lions Of Certainties.
