“Ultimately — or at the limit — in order to see a photograph well, it is best to look away or close your eyes.

My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.”
“We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.”
“There was nothing to see, nothing to distract me from succumbing to my fears, and the longer I kept my eyes shut, the more terribly I saw my fears wanted me to see.”
“Shut your eyes and see.”
“Shutting my eyes, I dreamed in formulas.”
