Quote by Ara Güler

“In our time photojournalists were as important as the writers. Today not so. Photojournalism is diminishing. Now everyone is a free artist, which can only be in photography. For he is taking pictures! Releases the shutter and becomes an artist. Godsend people they are, otherwise the world was doomed. They are so significant. I fear bumping into one of these celebrities walking in the street, which would be very disrespectful indeed.”

“Hebdômeros desconfiava da originalidade, tanto quanto da fantasia: "Não se deve galopar demais na garupa da fantasia -- dizia ele -- o que é preciso é DESCOBRIR, pois, descobrindo, torna-se a vida possível no sentido de reconciliá-la com sua mãe, a ETERNIDADE; descobrindo, paga-se seu tributo ao minotauro que os homens chama de Tempo...”

“If we could stop thinking of 'meaning' and 'purpose' as artifacts of some divine creative act and see them instead as the yield of our own creative future, they become goals, intentions and processes very much in reach rather than the shadows of childlike, superstitious mythology.”
