An artist should have more than two eyes.

The most effective coquetry is innocence.

Photography is better than art. It is a solar phenomenon in which the artist collaborates with the sun.

The greatness of a popular character is less according to the ratio of his genius than the sympathy he shows with the prejudices and even the absurdities of his time. Fanatics do not select the cleverest but the most fanatical leaders as was evidenced in the choice of Robespierre by the French Jacobins, and in that of Cromwell by the English Puritans.

All our tastes are but reminiscences.

Modesty and dew love the shade.

Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.
