There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.

I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.

It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop

Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature

There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.

I believe that photography can create great works of art, but hitherto it has been extraordinarily bourgeois and babbling. (1908)

Patience is also a form of action.
