    “The vice named surrealism is the immoderate and impassioned use of the stupefacient image or rather of the uncontrolled provocation of the image for its own sake and for the element of unpredictable perturbation and of metamorphosis which it introduces into the domain of representation; for each image on each occasion forces you to revise the entire Universe.”
    —Louis Aragon (1897–1982)

    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “Ah! how much a mother learns from her child!

    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
