The photograph suggests that our image of reality is made up of images. It makes explicit the domination of mediation.

...photography repeats itself unconsciously and unavoidably, producing stereotypes that then are repeated ad infinitum.

...the worry over media manipulation of photographs pales beside the threat that we will be exposed to an unedited, unvetted picture world where all images seem equally important and equally trivial.

...truth-telling may be an ethic, adopted by photojournalists as a behavior, but experience shows us that it is not embedded in the medium like silver salts in film.

Facts cling to photographs like dust.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

Wherever you go, be the thunder of joy and the wind of optimism.

We fall on our knees in awe of God’s greatness.

There will never be "the right time" in your life to do a great thing. You must create that time and greatness will follow.

Writers are cannibals. They really are. They are predators, and if you are friends with them, and if you say anything funny at dinner, or if anything good happens to you, you are in big trouble.

A burning itch to know is higher than a solemn vow to pursue truth. To feel the burning itch of curiosity requires both that you be ignorant, and that you desire to relinquish your ignorance.

Man is an imitative creature.

If you're looking for friends when you need them...it's too late.

That's the beauty of this great sport (track), though-it's such a fine line between success or not, which makes the sweet moments that much more worth savoring.

I am forever grateful for Cheers.
