I like to point out that people very often confuse the idea that truth is subjective with the fact that truth is perishable.

The very idea of photography is as Oliver Wendell Holmes said in the 19th century, "it's a mirror with a memory."

There's a line I love in Conan The Barbarian where someone says, "That used to be another snake cult, now I see it everywhere." That's certainly true of documentaries. I wouldn't say it's ubiquitous, but it's become close to ubiquitous. It's everywhere.

Not suing others does not mean that others won't sue you.If people are desperate enough to think that they can gain some kind of financial advantage, they'll sue.

The chance that any given sentence is a lie, rather than a truth, I think, is fairly great. An intentional lie, a self-deception, a misconception - there are lots of categories of untruth, not one grab bag. And hotographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things.

Those who cannot condemn the past repeat it in order to remember it.

You can't really trust anybody who doesn't talk a lot, because how would you know what they're thinking?
