“I'm only interested in people engaged in a project of self-transformation.”
Susan Sontag

“Never worry about being obsessive. I like obsessive people. Obsessive people make great art.”
Susan Sontag

Susan Sontag
“Needing to have reality confirmed and experience enhanced by photographs is an aesthetic consumerism to which everyone is now addicted. Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution.”
Susan Sontag, On Photography

Susan Sontag
“The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.”
Susan Sontag, The Benefactor

Susan Sontag
“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing 'we' can do -- but who is that 'we'? -- and nothing 'they' can do either -- and who are 'they' -- then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others
