So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful." --Susan Sontag

"In the cities in which we live, all of us see hundreds of publicity images every day of our lives. No other kind of image confronts us so frequently." - John Berger

"...the demand for perfection is always a sign of a misunderstanding of the ends of art." --John Ruskin
