I see myself as a recorder of history, sort of a visual historian.

David Burnett Photographer

Shooting film is not for everybody, but if you're crazy enough it might be for you.

David Burnett Photographer

I hate being away, but I understand that for me, that's where the work, the stories are.

David Burnett Photographer

When you've lived through the golden age of photojournalism, there's no point in being nostalgic.

David Burnett Photographer

There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.

William Henry Harrison 9th U.S. President

When I think of New York I have a very different feeling. New York makes even a rich man feel his unimportance. New York is cold, glittering, malign. The buildings dominate. There is a sort of atomic frenzy to the activity going on; the more furious the pace, the more diminished the spirit. A constant ferment, but it might just as well be going on in a test tube. Nobody knows what it's all about. Nobody directs the energy. Stupendous. Bizarre, Baffling. A tremendous reactive urge, but absolutely uncoordinated.

Henry Miller Writer

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

Victoria Pratt Actress

I don't have any understanding of a human being who doesn't respect the beauty of life and that goes for all creatures that have thoughts, feelings and needs.

Alicia Silverstone Actress

I can't say what my greatest strength between acting and singing is...I'll leave that to the critics. Maybe my best strength is performance itself, being with the audience and feeling what they feel, bouncing off of them.

Erica Schroeder Voice Actress

It must be an odd feeling to be thankful to nobody in particular. Christians in public institutions often see this odd thing happening on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone in the institution seems to be thankful 'in general.' It's very strange. It's a little like being married in general.

Cornelius Plantinga
