Life is beating against the school windows. You must quickly open the doors and go out to learn that no door must be locked against you.

"Utter truth is essential, and that is what stirs me when I look through the camera."

War makes its own morals.

Even while you're in dead earnest about your work, you must approach it with a feeling of freedom and joy; you must be loose-jointed, like a relaxed athlete.
