"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
Rilke
"The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking."
Brooks Anderson
"There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are."
Ernst Haas
"
If the world were only pain and logic, who would want it?
Of course, it isn’t.
"from Mary Oliver, “Singapore”
"I suppose it’s part of the dynamic. I start a book and I want to make it perfect, want it to turn every color, want it to be the world. Ten pages in, I’ve already blown it, limited it, made it less, marred it."
Joan Didion
