The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.

If you take photos, don't speak, don't write, don't analyze yourself, and don't answer any questions.

Some days the mere fact of seeing feels like perfect happiness... You feel so rich you long to share your jubilation with others. The memory of such moments is my most precious possession. Maybe because there've been so few of them. A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there-- even if you put them end to end they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds snatched from eternity.

To suggest is to create; to describe is to destroy.

Chance is the one thing you can't buy. You have to pay for it and you have to pay for it with your life, spending a lot of time, you pay for it with time, not the wasting of time but the spending of time.

For a photographer, the first 70 years are a bit difficult, but after that things get better.

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.
