• Only a very small proportion of us take those excesses with us into later life. In the age before everyone had a camera, it was worthwhile, in my opinion, to record those excesses. Sometimes, many times actually, the young people I photographed were only dressed that way for one night; that one night that they got snapped by me.

Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it. It is merely feeble if it does not go as far as to realise that.

  Blaise Pascal

• To me, the counterculture was always what I grew up with the hippies in the late '60s. But, however you define it, it's really the excesses of youth and it's something that everyone goes through to some extent. Or if they don't, they should do.

• Creo que también tenía miedo de la novela. Escribo línea por línea, a paso de tortuga, reescribiendo a medida que avanzo y eliminando el exceso. Esto va en contra de los mejores consejos para escribir prosa larga, y a lo largo de los años he intentado desprenderme de este hábito, pero no soporto dejar nada desgarbado en la página y la mitad de la diversión para mí es ese retoque. Así que la longitud de una novela era una perspectiva desalentadora.

• El verdadero secreto de la bondad natural reside en el reconocimiento de los derechos en pugna de los Pares de Opuestos; no hay tal antimonio entre el Bien y el Mal, sino sólo equilibrio entre dos extremos, cada uno de los cuales es malo cuando se lleva al exceso, ambos dan lugar al mal si son insuficientes para el equilibrio.

  Dion Fortune
