Salvador Dalí never lacked self-confidence. His flamboyant style and eccentricities were fundamental to his public persona, and he often declared himself the greatest artist of modern times. “Every morning upon awakening,” he famously said, “I experience a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dalí, and I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today.” His public image often distracted from the fact that he was an artist of incredible talent, and Dalí talked about art and life in a very meaningful manner. While never self-effacing, he admitted that, like anyone, he made mistakes. “Never try to correct them,” he wrote. “On the contrary: Rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.”
