Text Quotes
The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even (Diane Arbus Quotes)
I’m very little drawn to photographing people that are known or even subjects that are known. They fascinate me when I’ve barely heard of them (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats (Diane Arbus Quotes)
You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw (Diane Arbus Quotes)
We’ve all got an identity. You can’t avoid it. It’s what’s left when you take everything else away (Diane Arbus Quotes)
I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don’t like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Lately I’ve been struck with how I really love what you can’t see in a photograph. An actual physical darkness. And it’s very thrilling for me to see darkness again (Diane Arbus Quotes)
I don’t know what good composition is... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There’s a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness (Diane Arbus Quotes)
There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle (Diane Arbus Quotes)
... I would never choose a subject for what it means to me. I choose a subject and then what I feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold (Diane Arbus Quotes)
... I must begin at whatever pace is possible, to work on the book of my own that I vaguely keep assuming lies at the end of the rainbow. It is after all my rainbow and if I don’t do it no one else will... Survival is the secret so you really can’t afford to doubt yourself for long because you are all you’ve got. The only thing to do is to go the limit with it. Exceed (Diane Arbus Quotes)
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 (Diane Arbus Quotes)
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 (Diane Arbus Quotes)
What moves me about... what’s called technique... is that it comes from some mysterious deep place. I mean it can have something to do with the paper and the developer and all that stuff, but it comes mostly from some very deep choices somebody has made that take a long time and keep haunting them (Diane Arbus Quotes)
I mean, it’s very subtle and a little embarrassing to me, but I really believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Nothing is ever the same as they said it was. It’s what I’ve never seen before that I recognize (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Everything is so superb and breathtaking. I am creeping forward on my belly like they do in war movies (Diane Arbus Quotes)
There’s a kind of power thing about the camera. I mean everyone knows you’ve got some edge. You’re carrying some magic which does something to them. It fixes them in a way (Diane Arbus Quotes)
If you scrutinize reality closely enough, if in some way you really, really get to it, it becomes fantastic (Diane Arbus Quotes)
I mean, if you’ve ever spoken to someone with two heads, you know they know something you don’t (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. I don’t quite mean they’re my best friends but they made me feel a mixture of shame and awe (Diane Arbus Quotes)
It’s important to take bad pictures. It’s the bad ones that have to do with what you’ve never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn’t seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Photography was a license to go wherever I wanted and to do what I wanted to do (Diane Arbus Quotes)
The condition of photographing is maybe the condition of being on the brink of conversion to anything (Diane Arbus Quotes)
We stand on a precipice, then before a chasm, and as we wait it becomes higher, wider, deeper, but I am crazy enough to think it doesn’t matter which way we leap because when we leap we will have learned to fly. Is that blasphemy or faith? (Diane Arbus Quotes)
Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. It’s just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it (Diane Arbus Quotes)
It’s always seemed to me that photography tends to deal with facts whereas film tends to deal with fiction (Diane Arbus Quotes)
