"There is no such thing as a work of art that is finished. It is only unfinished."

"I was interested in ideas—not merely in visual products. I wanted to put painting once again at the service of the mind."

"I wanted to change my name, and I did. I changed it to Rrose Sélavy."

"I have always been interested in the idea of the artist as a medium."

"I don't want to make something that is beautiful. I don't want to make something that is 'art.' I want to make something that is interesting."
