One real world is enough.

Photography at first was asked to do nothing but embalm our best smiles for the benefit of our friends and our best clothes for the amusement of posterity. Neither thing lasts, and photography came as a welcome salve to keep those precious, if slightly ridiculous, things a little longer in the world.

There is no dunce like a mature dunce.

What is more important in life than our bodies or in the world than what we look like?

Injustice in this world is not something comparative; the wrong is deep, clear, and absolute in each private fate.

The fly that prefers sweetness to a long life may drown in honey.

The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal.
