Dali on Picasso:

" He had a feel for adjectives, but few ideas. He listened to me and gratified me with answers full of modifiers. His whole brilliance lay in his skill as plagiarist and stager, as a jewel setter. When all was said and done, Picasso was a duettist. He always needed a partner:  Ingres, Delacroix, Velazquez, and others I forget. But he was a unuch, a caricaturing imitator who tore down and made fun of what he could not outdo."
