The novel remains for me one of the few forms where we can record man's complexity and the strength and decency of his longings.

Only the bad artists of the nineteenth century were frightened by the invention of photography; the good ones all welcomed it and used it. Degas liked it not only because it provided an accurate record, but because the snapshot showed him a means of escape from the classical rules of design.

Kenneth Clark
Everybody does that now. We all take pics... you do the same with holiday photos.

But we can't confer with Costa Rica and come home with our shirts on. View quote
Will Rogers
