The Weight of Memory
The best you could say about Vietnam was that: certain blood was being shed for uncertain reasons.

Photography
- Pierre Assouline, A Century of Cartier-Bresson, Arte France, Cinétévé, September 2012.
Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908 – 2004):
A person's freedom ends at the exact point where another person's freedom begins. …
Our world is crazy. …
It's the intensity of the means of destruction and creation.
It's the way science is applied.
Our world is mad and suicidal. …
Where's this mad race taking us? …
We know too many useless things. …
What matters is what you do the next day, in a minute and right now. …
There's the moment and there's eternity.
And the void in between. …
It's not so much about photography.
It's about the joy of being there and recording. …
We're like thieves, except that we give.
