"The pace of contemporary life and of much of our activity is very fast.

It tends to cauterize the imagination."

Deborah J. Haynes

 

 

 

"Photographs should not be expected to be any more truthful than writings or songs"

"I know but one or two persons with whom I can afford to walk.

With most the walk degenerates into a mere vigorous use of your legs,

ludicrously purposeless, while you are discussing some mighty argument,

each one having his say, spoiling each other's day, worrying one another

with conversation, hustling with our conversation. I know of no use in the walking part

in this case, except that we may seem to be getting on together toward some goal; 

but of course we keep our original distance all the way"

Henry D. Thoreau

The inexpressible is the only thing that is worthwhile expressing.

Frederick Franck

I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen,

and accrue what I hear into myself .... and let sounds

contribute toward me.

Walt Whitman 

"In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us"

Virginia Woolf
