Much of Dali's efforts during his life were to distance himself from others both socially, and politically, to create iconic status for himself. This effort can be summed up in the artists own words, "at the age of six I wished to be a female cook, at seven Napoleon, ever since, my ambition has been continually on the increase, as has my megalomania {a symptom of mental illness marked by delusions of greatness, wealth}: now all I want to be is Salvador Dali. But the closer I get to my goal, the further Salvador Dali drifts away from me."
