“All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.”

“If ever that silly old man comes interfering here again with his umbrella, I'll kick him downstairs and jump on his stomach in front of the photographers.”

“Ultimately, we all become photographs.”

“Shooting stars are not stars at all. They re just rocks that enter the atmosphere and catch fire under friction. What we wish on when we see one is only a trail of debris.”

“No politician should ever let himself be photographed in a bathing suit.”

“[…], old photographs are very deceiving, they give us the illusion that we are alive in them, and it's not true, the person we are looking at no longer exists, and if that person could see us, he or she would not recognise him or herself in us, Who's that looking at me so sadly, he or she would say.”

“It's all I ever really wanted, that revelation. The possibility of fixed stars.”

“When do I see a photograph, when a reflection?”

“It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star Game and an old timer's game.”

“Films are even stranger, for what we are seeing are not disguised people but photographs of disguised people, and yet we believe them while the film is being shown.”
