उस पत्थर तराशने वाले को देखिए जो अपने पत्थर पर हथौड़ा चला रहा है, शायद सौ बार वार करने पर भी उस पर एक दरार तक नहीं आती। फिर भी सौ-एकवें वार में वह दो टुकड़ों में बंट जाता है, और मैं जानता हूँ कि यह आखिरी वार नहीं था जिसने ऐसा किया, बल्कि उससे पहले किए गए सभी वारों का असर था।
Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

मैं नहीं चाहता कि [फोटोग्राफी] को... कठिन सूत्रों के जरिए समझाया जाए, जो सीखे तो जाते हैं लेकिन बेहद निराशाजनक होते हैं। मैं अपनी तितली को पिन में चुभाकर कांच के बक्से में बंद नहीं देखना चाहता। मैं फूलों के बीच फुदकती हुई उसके पंखों पर धूप देखना चाहता हूँ और मुझे इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि उसका लैटिन नाम क्या है।
I do not want [photography] explained to me in terms of... formulas, learned, but so hopelessly unsatisfying. I do not want my butterfly stuck on a pin and put in a glass case. I want to see the sunlight on its wings as it flits from flower to flower and I don't care a rap what its Latin name may be.

जब कुछ भी मदद करता हुआ नहीं दिखता, तो मैं एक ऐसे पत्थर तराशने वाले को देखने जाता हूँ जो अपने पत्थर पर शायद सौ बार हथौड़ा चलाता है और उस पर एक दरार तक नहीं आती।
