Book cover for On Photography
like every mass art form, photography is not practiced by most people as an art. It is mainly a social rite, a defense against anxiety, and a tool of power.

Donna Tartt
“Bleakly, Harriet gazed out into the antiseptic gloom. A weight lay upon her, and a darkness. She’d learned things she never knew, things she had no idea of knowing, and yet in a strange way it was the hidden message of Captain Scott: that victory and collapse were sometimes the same thing.”
Donna Tartt, The Little Friend

Vladimir Nabokov
“Yet I have known madness not only in the guise of an evil shadow. I have seen it also as a flash of delight so rich and shattering that the very absence of an immediate object on which it might settle was to me a form of escape.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Look at the Harlequins!

Yukio Mishima
“The perfectly ordinary girl and the great philosopher are alike: for both, the smallest triviality can become the vision that wipes out the world.”
Yukio Mishima, The Decay of the Angel

Kōbō Abe
“The barrenness of sand, as it is usually pictured, was not caused by simple dryness, but apparently was due to the ceaseless movement that made it inhospitable to all living things. What a difference compared with the dreary way human beings clung together year in year out.”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

John Berger
“The truth is that most photographs taken of people are about suffering, and most of that suffering is man-made.”
John Berger, Understanding a Photograph
