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.

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.

The very secret of life for me, I believed, was to maintain in the midst of rushing events an inner tranquility.

Nothing attracts me like a closed door.

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.
