People in millenniums ahead will know what we were like in the 1930's and the thing that, the important major things that shaped our history at that time. This is as important for historic reasons as any other.

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty.

Think in terms of images and words. They can be mighty powerful when they are fitted together properly.

But I do feel a little teeny right now that I'm just about ready to start, and winter is entering. Half past autumn has arrived.

I've known both misery and happiness, lived in so many different skins it is impossible for one skin to claim me. And I have felt like a wayfarer on an alien planet at times - walking, running, wondering about what brought me to this particular place, and why. But once I was here the dreams started moving in, and I went about devouring them as they devoured me.

Many times I wondered whether my achievement was worth the loneliness I experienced, but now I realize the price was small.

I have been born again and again and each time, I have found something to love.
