These are all great quotes, thank you!


Here's one I can think of right now, it has nothing to do with photography:

"The best friends are those with whom you can sit quietly and feel like you're having the best conversation ever. You can talk to your enemies, but you can't sit quietly with an enemy." Ivo Andrić

And one more:

"Bad weather makes for good photographs."

I don't know who said it.
