Every so often I write more than I speak. Writing is another expression for me.. It is a way of articulating the secrets of my heart.

You must write for yourself, above all. That is your only hope of creating something beautiful.

I have no desires, save the desire to express myself in defiance of all the world’s muteness.

Every impulse we strangle will only poison us.

These days I just can't seem to say what I mean [...]. I just can't. Every time I try to say something, it misses the point. Either that or I end up saying the opposite of what I mean. The more I try to get it right the more mixed up it gets. Sometimes I can't even remember what I was trying to say in the first place. It's like my body's split in two and one of me is chasing the other me around a big pillar. We're running circles around it. The other me has the right words, but I can never catch her.

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.
