Overheard

“We knew, finally, the the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.”

...who said it?

“If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.”

...who said it?

“Turning the other cheek turns out to have selfish advantages. Someone who does you an injury hurts you twice: first by the injury itself, and second by taking up your time afterward thinking about it. If you learn to ignore injuries you can at least avoid the second half.”

...who said it?

“so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts / what’s so amazing about really deep thoughts”

...who said it?

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

...who said it?
