IN trying to recall my impressions during my short war duty as an officer in the Austrian Army, I find that my recollections of this period are very uneven and confused

What impressed me particularly in Vienna was the strict order everywhere. No mob disturbances of any kind, in spite of the greatly increased liberty and relaxation of police regulations.

The outbreak of the war found my wife and me in Switzerland, where we were taking a cure.

Genius is an overused word. The world has known only about a half dozen geniuses. I got only fairly near.

Courage, energy and patience are the virtues which appeal to my heart.

I saw a great many men die afterwards, some suffering horribly, but I do not recall any death that affected me quite so much as that of this first victim in my platoon.

Knowing that God is backing up our words and actions makes us strong, firm and courageous in any trial or persecution

I'll make a diet cheesecake, but I'll put it in a Sara Lee box. Or I'll have a huge bowl of pasta, but it's actually just a cup of pasta - the rest is vegetables. It makes me feel less deprived.

History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.

It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.

Find combinations of flavors you love and buy the best quality ingredients you can afford. Your food is only going to be as good as the sum of its parts, like anything else.

I wouldn't mind doing Playboy again. But only if I had creative control.

Your only competitors are your past achievements.

Women do act their part when they do make their ordered houses know them.
