Photography helps people to see. – Berenice Abbott
Does not the very word creative mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act – rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life – not death. – Berenice Abbott
Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone it has to be itself. – Berenice Abbott
Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past. – Berenice Abbott
In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again…. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring. – Enid Bagnold, Autobiography, 1969
