I think that the photos that we like were made when the photographer knew how to disappear. If there were a secret, certainly that would be it.

You cannot live when you are untouchable. Life is vulnerability.

The wandering photographer sees the same show that everyone else sees. He, however, stops to watch it.

The most important thing is to go out and see the stars, not to see them in books.

To me, photography is like a quest, or a pilgrimage, or a hunt. I love painting, I love music, but photography is what has allowed me to get outside of myself.

Millions of unnecessary photos are taken every day. People stand before the Pyramids and photograph them, when for three cents they could buy postcards which show them much better.

There is a word we haven't used yet: virginity... To make a photograph, the plate must be virgin, but your eye as well.

Taking photographs is not something that happens only in a moment I press the button. It is a full-time occupation. For me there is difference between leisure and work.

Because I know war... because I know the horror, I don't want to add to it. .........After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me photography was the means to achieve this.

To live, to experience the world, to communicate with a camera, all these are interrelated and cannot be separated from everyday live.

Was it the same light that enchanted the first photographers? It is the same, and it is still brand new - it is something that never wears out.

To believe and yet to have no hope is to thirst beside a fountain.

People will typically be more enthusiastic where they feel a sense of belonging and see themselves as part of a community than they will in a workplace in which each person is left to his own devices

If you read fast and read all, maybe some of the sand will stay in the sieve.

You've got to try and do your best, and the failure is what's funny. But you can't be aware of the failure, you've just got to keep trying to do your best.

You must not for one moment give up the effort to build up new lives for yourself.

It is first and foremost very hard work! But I have a wonderful part and I do have fun. The company, cast and crew of 'Passions' are wonderful to work with.

People are inexterminable - like flies and bed-bugs. There will always be some that survive in cracks and crevices - that's us.

I make an idol of my moral consciousness. My pursuit of the good is corrupted by the sin of idolatry.

A genius is a talented person who does his homework.

Don't apologize for being patriotic. Support the troops
