“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence.

“The first law of story-telling.... Every man is bound to leave a story better than he found it.”

“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
