Salvador Dali, famed for his surrealist painting of dripping clocks (which were apparently inspired by runny camembert and were a nod in the direction of Einstein’s theory of relativity) 
was not so famous for his humility. He once said, “Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure – that of being Salvador Dali”.
In 1958, a Catalan confectioner needed a logo for their new ‘bonbon on a stick’ and if you’ve ever bought your child a lollipop in Tenerife then you’ve seen the result.
Dali died of heart failure at the ripe old age of 84 but not before having a dig at those who don’t make it that far:
Muchas personas no cumplen los ochenta porque intentan durante demasiado tiempo quedarse en los cuarenta.
