Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.

One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

Only the Holy Spirit can open our eyes. Only He can convict us of the depth of our sin, and only He can convince us of the truth of the Gospel.

I have sometimes thought--that under the affectation of independent views you are as enslaved to the social code as any woman I know!

Principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

One is alone when the last one who remembers is gone.

Today, and everyday, I give that which I want to receive.

Used to be in the old days, only the pulp writers wrote like machines. Now everybody is expected to be literary John Henrys. So in that context someone like me is an anomaly.

You only stay in front by coming up with ideas your new competitors haven't thought of yet.

Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.

The mystics will tell you death is perfectly safe. A violent act will beget a violent act; it is simply a law.

There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
