“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde

“To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.”
― Susan Sontag, On Photography

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
― Dorothea Lange

“I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.”
― Woody Allen
