All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.

– Richard Avedon

I wished to live deliberately […], and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. […] I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.

– Henry David Thoreau

If you’re not good enough, then you’re not reading enough. […] Photography is not actually about taking pictures—taking pictures is incidental. It’s a by-product, in a sense, of everything else.

– Paolo Pellegrin
