André Breton Quote

Art today can only be revolutionary, that is, it must aspire at the complete and radical reconstruction of society, even if for no other reason than to emancipate intellectual creation from the chains which obstruct it and to allow all mankind to rise to the heights that only geniuses could reach in the past.

La Clé des Champs (1953) as quoted by Thomas Molnar, The Decline of the Intellectual (1961)
