I Do Not Photograph Nature. I Photograph

A Certain Amount Of Contempt For The Material Employed To Express An Idea Is Indispensable To The Purest Realization Of This Idea.

If I'd Had The Nerve, I'd Have Become A Thief Or A Gangster, But Since I Didn't, I Became A Photographer.

The Complicated Engines Manufactured By Men Demand, If One Really Wants To Use Them, Much Calm. Ever Since Our Love For Machines Replaced The Love We Used To Have For Our Fellow Man, Catastrophes Proceed To Increase.
