"Life is not significant details, illuminated by a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are"
- Susan Sontag
About this Quote
This quote by Susan Sontag speaks to the idea that life is not a series of moments that can be captured in a photo and frozen in time. Rather, life is made up of significant information that are brightened by a flash of insight or understanding. Photos can catch a minute in time, but they can not record the fullness of life. Life is a complex and ever-changing experience that can not be completely caught in a single image. Photographs can supply a peek into a minute in time, however they can not capture the fullness of life. Life is a journey that is made up of lots of moments, and each minute is special and unique. Pictures can help us keep in mind and appreciate these minutes, but they can not change the experience of living life.

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"
