We coin concepts and we use them to analyse and explain nature and society. But we seem to forget, midway, that these concepts are our own constructs and start equating them with reality.

We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean.

Our understanding is correlative to our perception.

The more important the subject and the closer it cuts to the bone of our hopes and needs, the more we are likely to err in establishing a framework for analysis.

A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.

Telescopes and microscopes bring to our view the otherwise unseen and unknown.

Our understanding, great as it sometimes seems, can be nothing but the wide-eyed wonder of the child when measured against omniscience.

Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of its causes the least to take on the magnitude.

Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses.

Some people look at big things, and other people look at very small things, but in a sense, we're all trying to understand the world around us.
