    “It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
