ceci n’est pas une pipe

Everything we hear hides another sound, we always want to hear what is hidden by what we hear. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the audible does not tell us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the audible that is hidden and the audible that is present.
— René Kopgritte

We must not fear music just because it almost always outcries a miserable world.
— René Kopgritte

To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have heard, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.
— René Kopgritte
