More quotes by Diane Arbus
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
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

Diane Arbus
The condition of photographing is maybe the condition of being on the brink of conversion to anything.
Diane Arbus
One of the risks of appearing in public is the likelihood of being photographed.
Diane Arbus
It would be beautiful to photograph the winners of everything from Nobel to booby prize, clutching trophy, or money or certificate, solemn or smiling or tear stained or bloody, on the precarious pinnacle of the human landscape.
Diane Arbus
The camera is a kind of license.
Diane Arbus
The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even.
Diane Arbus
I think the most beautiful inventions are the ones you don't think of.
Diane Arbus
Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.
Diane Arbus
I mean, if you've ever spoken to someone with two heads, you know they know something you don't.
