—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“If a dog jumps into your lap it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing it is because your lap is warmer.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
“In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.”
