Diane Arbus Photographer Quotations

My favourite thing is to go where I've never been.

The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.

When you grow up your mother says, 'Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold.' When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not to wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's something like that.

For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.

...I would never choose a subject for what it means to me. I choose a subject and then what I feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold.

The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even.

I'm very little drawn to photographing people that are known or even subjects that are known. They fascinate me when I've barely heard of them.

I think the most beautiful inventions are the ones you don't think of.

The camera is a kind of license.
