“When we define the Photograph as a motionless image, this does not mean only
that the figures it represents do not move; it means that they do not

“It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we
discover the world around us.”

“When I look at my old pictures, all I can see is what I used to be but am no
longer. I think: What I can see is what I am not.”

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you
know.”
