• Todas las sociedades se basan en normas para proteger a las mujeres embarazadas y a los niños pequeños. Todo lo demás es excedente, excrecencia, adorno, lujo o locura que puede -y debe- desecharse en caso de emergencia para preservar esta función primordial. Como la supervivencia racial es la única moral universal, no hay otra básica posible. Los intentos de formular una "sociedad perfecta" sobre cualquier otra base que no sea "¡Las mujeres y los niños primero!" no sólo son estúpidos, sino automáticamente genocidas. Sin embargo, los idealistas de ojos estrellados (todos ellos hombres) lo han intentado sin cesar, y sin duda seguirán intentándolo.

• I am an idealist. I often feel I would like to be an artist in an ivory tower. Yet it is imperative that I speak to people, so I must desert that ivory tower. To do this, I am a journalist - a photojournalist. But I am always torn between the attitude of the journalist, who is a recorder of facts, and the artist, who is often necessarily at odds with the facts. My principle concern is for honesty, above all honesty with myself.

  W. Eugene Smith
