Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans.
Nature knows no political boundaries. She puts living creatures on this globe and watches the free play of forces. She then confers the master's right on her favourite child, the strongest in courage and industry ... The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel.
Some people are afraid of generosity. They feel they will be taken advantage of or oppressed. In cultivating generosity, we are only oppressing our greed and attachment. This allows our true nature to come out and become lighter and freer.
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Of course, the advantage is that, being in this business, you get to learn a lot, experience a lot of new things, and you can become real successful.

But if you maintain strong family values and you believe in God, you can be successful. So, it's been tough, but I've gotten through it because I stuck with my family and my deep belief in God.

I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.
Conformity may give you a quiet life; it may even bring you to a University Chair. But all change in history, all advance, comes from the nonconformists. If there had been no trouble-makers, no Dissenters, we should still be living in caves.
I may be wrong, but the essential illustrative nature of most documentary photography, and the worship of the object per se, in our best nature photography, is not enough to satisfy the man of today, compounded as he is of Christ, Freud, and Marx.
Because Iâ€™ve had a taste and Iâ€™m not sharing. This isnâ€™t just for fun. I may be slightly addicted.
