Diane Arbus Quotes

The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.

One thing that struck me early is that you don’t put into a photograph what’s going to come out. Or, vice versa, what comes out is not what you put in.

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

What I'm trying to describe is that it's impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else's.... That somebody else's tragedy is not the same as your own.
