More quotes by Diane Arbus

I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness.

Diane Arbus
Photography was a license to go wherever I wanted and to do what I wanted to do.
Diane Arbus
We've all got an identity. You can't avoid it. It's what's left when you take everything else away.
Diane Arbus
Nothing is ever the same as they said it was.
Diane Arbus
These are characters in a fairy tale for grown-ups. Wouldn't it be lovely? Yes.
Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus
If I didn't have a camera, the things I do would be crazy.
Diane Arbus
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
