• Hacen falta mil hombres para inventar un telégrafo, o una máquina de vapor, o un fonógrafo, o una fotografía, o un teléfono o cualquier otra cosa importante, y el último hombre se lleva el mérito y nos olvidamos de los demás.

Estas lecciones objetivas deberían enseñarnos que noventa y nueve partes de todas las cosas que proceden del intelecto son plagios, pura y simplemente; y la lección debería hacernos modestos. Pero nada puede hacer eso.

• Photography is much more about elimination than inclusion. The images we make with a lens typically eliminate ninety percent of our field of view and everything that is out of our field of view. The shutter slices time, eliminating all moments before and after it opens and closes. Three dimensions are reduced to two. And in some cases color is removed. How can we call these kinds of artifacts unaltered?
