• The despondency that follows makes me feel somewhat like a shipwrecked man who spies a sail, sees himself saved, and suddenly remembers that the lens of his spyglass has a flaw, a blurred spot -- the sail he has seen.

• No se trata de una cuestión de virtud, sino de mi elección de hacer el trabajo de alterar o liberarme de alguna manera de mi configuración natural por defecto, que es estar profunda y literalmente centrado en mí mismo, y ver e interpretar todo a través de esta lente del yo.

• La fotografía es una investigación tanto del mundo exterior como del interior. Las primeras experiencias con la cámara implican mirar al mundo más allá del objetivo, confiando en que el instrumento "capturará" algo "visto". Los términos disparar y tomar no son casuales; representan una actitud de conquista y apropiación. Sólo cuando el fotógrafo crece en la percepción y el impulso creativo, el término hacer define una condición de empatía entre los acontecimientos externos e internos.

• I believe in empathy. I believe in the kind of empathy that is created through imagination and through intimate, personal relationships. I am a writer and a teacher, so much of my time is spent interpreting stories and connecting to other individuals. It is the urge to know more about ourselves and others that creates empathy. Through imagination and our desire for rapport, we transcend our limitations, freshen our eyes, and are able to look at ourselves and the world through a new and alternative lens.

• La forma en que hablas de ti mismo y de tu vida -tu historia- tiene mucho que ver con lo que aparece en tu experiencia cotidiana. Tus pensamientos crean filtros a través de los cuales ves tu vida. Si piensas en ti mismo como una víctima, filtras todo lo que te ocurre a través de la lente del DDT, y encuentras muchas pruebas que apoyan ese punto de vista. Por eso es tan importante la orientación que adoptas: ejerce una poderosa influencia en la dirección de tu vida.

• It is part of the pholosophic dullness of our time that there are millions of rational monsters walking about on their hind legs, observing the world through pairs of flexible little lenses, periodically supplying themselves with energy by pushing organic substances through holes in their faces, who see nothing fabulous whatever about themselves.

  Martin Gardner

• Cuando empecé a fotografiar desnudos, me dejé guiar por esta cámara, y en lugar de fotografiar lo que yo veía, fotografiaba lo que veía la cámara. Intervenía muy poco, y el objetivo producía imágenes y formas anatómicas que mis ojos nunca habían observado.

• Elizabeth Taylor is, in my opinion, the greatest actress in film history. She instinctively understands the camera and its nonverbal intimacies. Opening her violet eyes, she takes us into the liquid realm of emotion, which she inhabits by Pisces intuition. Richard Burton said that Taylor showed him how to act for the camera. Economy and understatement are essential. At her best, Elizabeth Taylor simply is. An electric, erotic charge vibrates the space between her face and the lens. It is an extra-sensory, pagan phenomenon.

• You see the world, you end up in jail three or four times, you accumulate experience. And it gives you something to say. If you don't have anything to say then you shouldn't be making films. It's nothing to do with what lens you're using.

• Lo sagrado no puede definirse con precisión. Cada uno de nosotros lo percibe a través de la lente de una historia personal única. Para mí, lo sagrado es una experiencia del resplandor interior de la vida, la fuerza invisible que transforma y alimenta el mundo físico, pero que nunca se ve limitada por él. Hay algo más, un misterio que nunca se comprende del todo.

• Our beliefs act as lenses. These lenses can help us see things we can't otherwise see, but they can also block us from seeing parts of reality.

• But I never looked like that!’ - How do you know? What is the ‘you’ you might or might not look like? Where do you find it - by which morphological or expressive calibration? Where is your authentic body? You are the only one who can never see yourself except as an image; you never see your eyes unless they are dulled by the gaze they rest upon the mirror or the lens (I am interested in seeing my eyes only when they look at you): even and especially for your own body, you are condemned to the repertoire of its images.

• She couldn't "heal" him. No woman could. Events that far in the past just couldn't be undone. But perhaps he didn't need a cure, but . . . a lens. Someone who accepted him for the imperfect person he was, and then helped him to see the world clear. Like spectacles did for her.

• One of the stories I love is how Gutenberg’s printing press set off this interesting chain reaction, where all of a sudden people across Europe noticed for the first time that they were farsighted, and needed spectacles to read books (which they hadn’t really noticed before books became part of everyday life); which THEN created a market for lens makers, which then created pools of expertise in crafting lenses, which then led people to tinker with those lenses and invent the telescope and microscope, which then revolutionized science in countless ways.
