The laws of certain states ...give an ownership in the service of negroes as personal property.... But being men, by the laws of God and nature, they were capable of acquiring liberty-and when the captor in war ...thought fit to give them liberty, the gift was not only valid, but irrevocable.
Alexander Hamilton
With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!
David Hockney
I don't know Who, or what, put the question, I don't know when it was put. I don't even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone, or Something, and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal.
