“What self-respecting male wanted a job being photographed?”

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”

“If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.”

“Human beings. They are the ones with the most important job. They are supposed to make what they want out of what they are given.”

“Freedom is not an abstaction, nor is a little of it enough. A little more is not enough either. Having less, being less, empoverished in freedom and rights, women then invariably have less self-respect: less self-respect than any human being needs to live a brave and honest life.”

“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”
