I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.
I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.
I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.
I think it's odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it.
I hid myself within myself. . . and quietly wrote down all my joys, sorrows and contempt in my diary.
I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
The young are not afraid of telling the truth.
I can't imagine what they're planning. But I can tell you two things. We won't like it, and it won't be legal.
I've probably said a million times in my life something about, "All those people are just lemmings. They'd follow each other off a cliff. " Well, no such thing.
I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
Twenty-one already, and I still haven't done a thing worth immortality.
