Photography was my choice of weapons.

The camera could be a very powerful instrument against discrimination, against poverty, against racism.

I had known poverty firsthand, but there I learned how to fight its evil - along with the evil of racism - with a camera.

I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have a camera.

If a man can reach the latter days of his life with his soul intact, he has mastered life.

I have never known anyone important enough to consume me in anger beyond a few hours. Better to depart their existence before they poison your own.

I have always felt as though I needed a weapon against evil.
