“Man passes; he knows that he is dust; nothing is more evident than his frailty. If he should for a single moment forget it, what a chorus of voices would recall it to him! And yet, in the drop of existence which he absorbs, he takes in ages through memory and ages through presentiment. In the moments as they pass, he dimly sees eternity, and more than this, he possesses it by anticipation.” IfsKnowsMenShouldMomentsAgeVoiceMemoriesForgetExistenceEternityDustAnticipationRecallsEvidentForget ItChorusSingle MomFrailty Author:Charles Wagner
“Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.” MomentsArtistEasyDifficultSimpleEmotionFocusTalentPhotographyCamerasPhotographerSurfaceMediumsFixedNativeContradictionConceptionInstructionRecallsBlankFormidableShutters Author:Edward Steichen

“A cruel joke has been played on us. We are fated always to remember what we learned but never to recall the experiences that taught us. Who can remember being born? Yet, it is possible to speculate that anxiety has its roots in this experience, that dread of abandonment, fears of separation, intolerable loneliness go back to this moment. Who can remember being cared for as an infant? ... Who can remember being toilet-trained? ... Who can remember the attachment which developed to the parent of the opposite sex? ... We cannot remember but what we have forgotten lives on dynamically.” Has BeensMomentsRememberSexParentBornLonelinessTaughtAnxietyJokesRootsOppositesForgottenSeparationAttachmentDreadRecallsInfantToiletsAbandonmentTaught Us Author:Jo Coudert
