"It looks like a waste of life, that mowing down of our best years by a relentless passion which itself falls dead on the top of them. But it is not so. Every year I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence which will risk nothing, and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well. No one ever yet was the poorer in the long run for having once in a lifetime 'let out all the length of the reins.'"

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

“You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.”
“When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.”
“Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses.”
