Quote

It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.

A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same.

That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
