War makes its own morals.

You are responsible for what you have done and the people whom you have influenced.

Photography is a very subtle thing. You must let the camera take you by the hand, as it were, and lead you into your subject.

The sights I have just seen [at Buchenwald] are so unbelievable that I don't think I'll believe them myself until I've seen the photographs.

I was to discover that the quest for human understanding is a lifetime one that has no end in sight.

The element of discovery is very important. I don't repeat myself well. I want and need that stimulus of walking forward from one new world to another. There is something demoralizing about going back to a place to retake pictures. You can no longer see your subjects in a fresh eye; you keep comparing them with the pictures you hold in your memory. [The] world was full of discoveries waiting to be made...(as a photographer) I could share the things I saw and learned...you would react to something all others might walk by.

We are in a privileged and sometimes happy position. We see a great deal of the world. Our obligation is to pass it on to others.
