Susan Sontag
“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”
Susan Sontag

William  James
“Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.”
William James, The Will to Believe : and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy

Mark Twain
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
Mark Twain

Hans-Georg Gadamer
“We cannot understand without wanting to understand, that is, without wanting to let something be said...Understanding does not occur when we try to intercept what someone wants to say to us by claiming we already know it.”
Hans-Georg Gadamer

Franz Kafka
“I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.”
Franz Kafka
