Every nation is destined, by the law of God and humanity, to form a free and equal community of brothers.

Every mission constitutes a pledge of duty. Every man is bound to consecrate his every faculty to its fulfilment. He will derive his rule of action from the profound conviction of that duty.

...how could I, fool that I am, go on sitting in my office, or here at home, instead of leaping onto a train with my eyes shut and opening them only when I am with you?

Snot is running down his nose, greasy fingers, smearing shabby clothes.

My work never directly addresses the literal subject matter of the photograph, but attempts to ask questions about vision itself.

If I cooperate with you, and you cooperate with me, I will keep cooperating with you.
