A box for dark men and a box for Other
Would often find the contents had been scrambled.”

“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“There is a destiny that makes us brothers;
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own.”
—Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
