SPANISH! need some help please?

I have heard some quotations from Salvador Dali and I need the exact Spanish sentences:

1) "The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad."

and,

2) "Have no fear of perfection. You can never reach it."

By the way, I don't want these sentences to be translated into English, I need the EXACT words of Salvador Dali.

Thanks in advance!

Update:

So, three different versions, and all of them have thumbdowns!

I have to let the voters decide who is right!

    “No teman a la perfección porque ustedes no la alcanzarán jamás”.

    "La única diferencia entre un loco y yo es que yo no estoy loco"

    tha's exactly how he's famously quoted, however he might have originally said these phrases is Catalan and not Spanish.

  • There are different versions of some sentences, maybe because they have been translated from Catalan to Spanish..but I'm not sure about it..

    "The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad."

    -Existe sólo una diferencia entre un hombre loco y yo.Yo no estoy loco.

    -La única diferencia entre un loco y yo es que yo no estoy loco.

    "Have no fear of perfection. You can never reach it."

    -No teman a la perfección porque ustedes no la alcanzarán jamás
