I would say to any artist: Don't be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better.

It's hard not to tell the truth with a camera. Artists are particularly good at that.

No photographer is better than the simplest of cameras

If I have any 'message' worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.

An excellent conception can be quite obscured by faulty technical execution or clarified by faultless technique.

Ultimately success or failure in photographing people depends on the photographer's ability to understand his fellow man.

Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.
