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

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.

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.

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.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words will always kill me.

It is a horrible, terrible thing, the worst thing, to watch somebody you love die right in front of you and not be able to do nothing about it.

Far away in the sunshine are my highest inspirations. I many not reach them but I can look up and see the beauty believe in them and try to follow where they lead.

The problem with modern consumption and mass-produced products is they're designed to just literally be shoved into our mouths and rushed.

What you have in your mind, your talents, your native abilities, no one can take from you. When you die, you take them with you. Use them diligently while you are here.

When I was a kid Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell were mere blips on the gaydar; and they were both still in the closet.

Love is quite violent. It is so painful at times, so devastating. And there is nothing worse or better. We find the highs and lows equally unbearable. But then again, the absence of them is more so.

Political questions are far too serious to be left to the politicians.

My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
