What matters most to me is to take photographs; to continue taking them and not to repeat myself. To go further, to go as far as I can.

I would like to see everything, look at everything, I want to be the view itself.

The biggest lesson in photography is that from negative we make a positive

If a picture is good, it tells many different stories.

I don't like captions. I prefer people to look at my pictures and invent their own stories.

I don't pretend to be an intellectual or a philosopher. I just look.

I have to shoot three cassettes of film a day, even when not 'photographing', in order to keep the eye in practice.

I never stay in one country more than three months. Why? Because I was interested in seeing, and if I stay longer I become blind.

The maximum, that is what has always interested me.

If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.

Sometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it.

I now know, by an almost fatalistic conformity with the facts, that my destiny is to travel...

Glorious God stated: "Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him, etc."

Empathy is patiently and sincerely seeing the world through the other person's eyes. It is not learned in school; it is cultivated over a lifetime.

I keep going over a sentence. I nag it, gnaw it, pat and flatter it.

The social states of human kinds Are made by multitudes of minds, And after multitudes of years A little human growth appears Worth having, even to the soul Who sees most plain it's not the whole.

In a dark time, doors will sometimes magically open and let us step inside to the warmth and light of a community.

But when we observe, we are forced to pay attention. We have to move from passive absorption to active awareness. We have to engage.

When the moonlight and the waterfall come together, all other things fade from the scene!

It's not the principles that kill you in the end. It's the books.

I like girls who are funny with a warped sense of humor.
