More quotes by Danny Lyon
[The people who run things] are so successful in the way they do it now. They could buy me off with a couple of vintage prints, they could have you do an ad, or give you a ribbon... In capitalist countries they reward artists because we're ineffectual.
Danny Lyon
I feel totally responsible for what I see. I feel totally responsible for what I photograph.
Danny Lyon

Danny Lyon
