"There is a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in." (Leonard Cohen, Anthem)

A. "Oh, yes, I was a great retoucher. A retoucher is an aesthetic surgeon !" (Man Ray)

"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." ( Diane Arbus)

"The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition." (W.H.Auden)

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life:
