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

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.

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.

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.

Opportunity plays a big role in having success

Take chances! Get messy! Make mistakes!

At this point I think we need to embrace the weird. High-five it. Give it our phone number.

I am awake, I see the sun. I am going to give my gratitude to the sun and to everything and everyone because I am still alive. One more day to be myself.

Shame weakens us. It can make us frightened to take on something new. We start to withdraw from whatever might give us pleasure, self-esteem, or a sense of our value.

Sweet April! many a thought Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed; Nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought, Life's golden fruit is shed.

With no specific procedure, man arrived at sweeping conclusions about the universe that have proven to be true.

I like to spend my time with my children.

If I wanted to write, I had to be willing to develop a kind of concentration found mostly in people awaiting execution. I had to learn technique and surrender my ignorance.

Well, I must be patient; there is no fettering of authority.
