Joel-Peter Witkin Citas

• La gente que odia lo que hago también me odia a mí. Deben de pensar que soy un demonio o algún tipo de brujo malvado. Los que entienden lo que hago aprecian la determinación, el amor y el valor que hace falta para encontrar la maravilla y la belleza en personas que la sociedad considera dañadas, sucias, disfuncionales o desgraciadas.
