More quotes by Pierre Mac Orlan
Adventure does not exist. It exists only in the mind of the man who pursues it, and as soon as his fingers graze it, it vanishes to appear much further off, in another form, at the limits of the imagination.
Pierre Mac Orlan
When you have a taste for exceptional people, you always end up meeting them everywhere.
Pierre Mac Orlan
[Documentary photography] is unwittingly literary, because it is nothing other than an observation of contemporary life apprehended at the right moment by an artist capable of seizing it. (1928)
