“The pictures do not lie, but neither do they tell the whole story. They are merely a record of time passing, the outward evidence.”

“Pictures could not be accessories to the story -- evidence -- they had to contain the story within the frame; the best picture contained a whole war within one frame.”

“Do not become a mere recorder of facts, but try and penetrate the mystery of their origin.”

“Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don't do that so much anymore. Sitting around the table telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us to live a life worth remembering.”

“Pictures never tell the whole story," I say trying to be reassuring. "They're a projection of how people want you to see them”

“It’s all going to be okay. She would like to hear that now, even if it was a lie. Because some lies are beautiful. Stories do not tell you that.”
