Upon finishing Susan Sontag's collection of essays on photography, a few more favorite quotes:
"The posession of a camera can inspire something akin to lust. And like all credible forms of lust, it cannot be satisfied: first, because the possibilities of photography are infinite; and, second, because the project is finally self-devouring."
"The narrowing of free political choice to free economic consumption requires the unlimited production and consumption of images."
"Superseding the issue of whether photography is or is not an art is the fact that photography heralds (and creates) new ambitions for the arts."
"The primitive notion of the efficacy of images presumes that images possess the qualities of real things, but our inclination is to attribute to real things the qualities of an image."
