"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know."
-Diane Arbus, "Diane Arbus : A Biography "

"I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them."
-Diane Arbus, "Diane Arbus : An Aperture Monograph"

"The Chinese have a theory that you pass through boredom into fascination and I think it's true. I would never choose a subject for what it means to me or what I think about it. You've just got to choose a subject - and what you feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold if you just plain choose a subject and do it enough."
-Diane Arbus

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

"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."
-Diane Arbus
