It is hard to believe that such powerful responses are coming from such frail, delicate and inherently evanescent stimuli." -Edwin H. Land

"[Land] is convinced that images can be as effective as words and that every person has a latent ability to make effective contact with another through visual statements." -Ansel Adams

"The artist's life is to be where life is, active life, found in neither ivory tower nor concrete shelter; he must be out listening to everything, looking at everything, and thinking it all out afterward." - Sean O'Casey
