Print Quotations

If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.
Benjamin Franklin

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel.
Michael Jackson

The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
Ansel Adams

These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.
Ansel Adams

In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
Ansel Adams

The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score, and the print the performance.
Ansel Adams

Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
