“My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.”

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”

“Lately I’ve been struck with how I really love what you can’t see in a photograph.”

“The thing that’s important to know is that you never know. You’re always sort of feeling your way.”

“I’m very little drawn to photographing people that are known or even subjects that are known. They fascinate me when I’ve barely heard of them.” – Diane Arbus“I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don’t like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.”

“I don’t know what good composition is…. Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There’s a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness.”

“Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe.”

“I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.”

“The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.”

“It’s always seemed to me that photography tends to deal with facts whereas film tends to deal with fiction.”

“Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.”

“Take pictures of what you fear.”
– Diane Arbus
