I’m starting a category called “Other People’s Writing” for the purposes of collecting great sentences & beautifully articulated ideas:
“Looking at these pictures, it is impossible not to feel the palpable tug of time’s undertow, the inexorable movement toward we-know-not-what…. Here is photography’s ultimate irony: it can freeze time, but never stop it.”
—Chris Wiley, “Lee Friedlander’s Intimate Portraits of His Wife, Through Sixty Years of Marriage,” The New Yorker
