“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the termmeaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etchingthere would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.”

“Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to preserve, that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially conservative. A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
—Robert Musil (18801942)
