Henri Cartier-Bresson World Quotations

Human faces are such a world!

In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject, an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us; the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms.

The adventurer in me felt obliged to testify with a quicker instrument than a brush to the scars of the world.

There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.

For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.

The world is being created every minute, and the world is falling to pieces every minute

It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.
