You Must Expect Failure After Failure After

Photography Is Unlike Any Other Art Form. In The Other Arts There Is Always A Continuous Interplay Between The Artist And His Art. He Has The Painting Or Sculpture Before Him. What We Have Tried To Do Is To Provide A Medium For "artistic Expression" To Anyone With Only A Reasonable Amount Of Time. By Giving Him A Camera System With Which He Need Only Control His Selection Of Focus, Composition And Lighting, We Free Him To Select The Moment And To Criticize Immediately What He Has Done. We Enable Him To See What Else He Wants To Do On The Basis Of What He Has Just Learned.

In My Opinion, Neither Organisms Nor Organizations Evolve Slowly And Surely Into Something Better, But Drift Until Some Small Change Occurs Which Has Immediate And Overwhelming Significance. The Special Role Of The Human Being Is Not To Wait For These Favorable Accidents But Deliberately To Introduce The Small Change That Will Have Great Significance.

The Role Of Science Is To Be Systematic, To Be Accurate, To Be Orderly, But It Certainly Is Not To Imply That The Aggregated, Successful Hypotheses Of The Past Have The Kind Of Truth That Goes Into A Number System.

Creativity Is The Sudden Cessation Of Stupidity.

Look, If The Picture You Get Instantly Is As Beautiful As The Picture You Get By Waiting Seven Days, Then It Is Absolute Madness To Say That There Is Virtue In Waiting.
