"The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."

Art

"Societies need to have one illness which becomes identified with evil, and attaches blame to its victims."

Blame

"As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure."

People

"Most people in this society who aren't actively mad are, at best, reformed or potential lunatics."

Society

"The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities."

History

"It is a view of suffering, of the pain of others, that is rooted in religious thinking, which links pain to sacrifice, sacrifice to exaltation - a view that could not be more alien to a modern sensibility, which regards suffering as something that is a mistake or an accident or a crime. Something to be fixed. Something to be refused. Something that makes one feel powerless."

Philosophy

"To take a picture is to have an interest in things as they are, in the status quo remaining unchanged, to be in complicity with whatever makes a subject interesting, worth photographing-including, when that is the interest, another person's pain or misfortune."
