• Our Onirisme movement was a synthesis between the Romantic Fantastique and Surrealism. Dimov and I rejected automatic writing. We loved surrealist painters: Chirico, Magritte, Tanguy and especially Brauner (also a Romanian), who never respected the laws that Breton imposed in his manifests.

• I thought of a high school report I did on the Belgian artist Rene Magritte and a quote I once read from him, something about his favorite walk being the one he took around his own bedroom. He said that he never understood the need for people to travel because all the poetry and perspective you're ever going to get you already posses. Anais Nin had the same idea. We see the world as we are. So if it's the same brain we bring with us every time we open our eyes, what's the difference if we're looking at an island cove or a pocket watch?

• Si me doy el gusto y me entrego a la memoria, aún puedo sentir el nudo de excitación que se apoderó de mí al doblar la esquina de la calle Mimosas, en busca de la casa de René Magritte. Era agosto de 1965. Tenía 33 años y estaba a punto de conocer al hombre cuyas pinturas surrealistas, profundas e ingeniosas, habían contradicho mis suposiciones sobre la fotografía.
