O método Crítico-Paranóico de Salvador Dali, segundo tomo

(quadro de Salvador Dali, "Marsupial Centaurs", 1940)

"The primary function of the paranoiac-critical method is, of course, to produce images of a startling and authentically unknown nature. Contrary to belief, these are not hallucinations. Rather than perceiving an object which does not exist, the paranoiac mind perceives alternate meanings and interpretations of objectively «real» things. The new interpretation may, in fact, be totally viable, and can displace the original perception instantaneously." (1)
