Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality...One can't possess reality, one can possess images — one can't possess the present but one can possess … - Susan Sontag

Space reserved for being serious is hard to come by in a modern society, whose chief model of a public space is the mega-store.

The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean Algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, and Balanchine ballets don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself.
