About this Quote

In this quote, Andre Breton speaks about the transformative power of living for something beyond the traditional expectations of society. He recommends that those who have tasted the excitement of breaking free from societal standards and pursuing their own passions can not easily quit this newly found flexibility. This sensation of freedom and satisfaction is so powerful that it becomes challenging to return to an ordinary existence. Breton's words highlight the value of living authentically and following one's own desires, rather than conforming to social expectations. He motivates individuals to welcome their distinct passions and experiences, as they can result in a sense of liberation and satisfaction that can not be quickly given up.
