Diane Arbus
If I didn't have a camera, the things I do would be crazy.
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.
Diane Arbus
If you scrutinize reality closely enough, if in some way you really, really get to it, it becomes fantastic.
Diane Arbus
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
I mean, if you've ever spoken to someone with two heads, you know they know something you don't.
Diane Arbus
Everything is so superb and breathtaking. I am creeping forward on my belly like they do in war movies.
Diane Arbus
I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.
