Famous quotes containing the word photographs:

    “All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “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.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
